The relative lull in large malvertising attacks was unfortunately disrupted this week for both Spotify and Facebook.

Spotify is an online music service that allows users to listen to any music they want to over the internet for free. It is only available in a limited number of European countries, but still has a sizeable user base.

For those not familiar with Spotify, like many free services, they also offer a premium subscription service. While the free version is ad supported, the paid version has no ads and allows use of the service while offline, on mobiles, etc.
