As we mentioned in a previous blog post, every time there is news of global interest, cybercriminals try to exploit that interest for their own malicious purposes. The death of Osama bin Laden was no exception - it was used in spam as well as black hat SEO.
We have detected two spam mailings capitalizing on the news of Bin Laden’s death, both of which were used to distribute malware.
One included a password-protected ZIP archive. The message subject was: “pictures of osama bin laden dead?”
What is strange about the mailing is that the text was taken from a standard spam message which is supposedly sent by a girl who wants to introduce herself to a man and is asking him to have a look at pictures of her that are attached.
