Michael Jacksons death themed malware campaigns spreading
section: common, for your questions: KezNews forum, 26.6.2009
Tip: Click here to update all your PC's outdated driversThe sudden death of Michael Jackson quickly opened a window of opportunity for cybercriminals to capitalize on.
With a malicious spam campaign, blackhat SEO search results poisoning which is serving scaraware within the first 100 search results for Michael Jackson’s death, and an opportunistic participant in Zango adware’s network using typosquatting, malicious activity is prone to increase during the next couple of days.
Here are more details on the campaigns currently in circulation:
The malicious spam campaign is enticing users to visit a compromised web site (Beatz radio beatzradio.com.au) where the bogus Michael.Jackson.videos.scr screensaver is served.
A second, non-malicious spam campaign using a Michael Jackson theme is being spammed from legitimate emails in a desperate and amateur-ish attempt to harvest the emails of those who reply back - a practice which became obsolete with the time due to the much more sophisticated email harvesting techniques spammers have in a Web 2.0 world for instance.
