Christmas Lures Being Distributed Via Spam

Date:11.27.2008

Threat Type: Malicious Web Site / Malicious Code

Websense? Security Labs? ThreatSeeker? Network has discovered that malware authors are already using Christmas themes this year as a social engineering tactic, in an effort to gain control over compromised machines. This campaign uses email messages in the form of e-greetings, leading to supposed animated postcards. These actually lead to a Trojan backdoor that has been distributed in previous malicious spam campaigns.
