Spam News
by Ivy on April 19, 2007

Yet again I am grossly disgusted by spammers, phishers, hackers and other parasites which pollute the web. Some 'loveable' person decided to exploit the Virginia Tech shooting, sending out millions of infected spam emails which try to steal Online Banking information. Information Week reports:
"The spam e-mails carry a photograph of gunman Cho Seung-hui, who killed more than 30 students and teachers at the Virginia school on Monday before killing himself. The e-mails claim to link to a Brazilian Web site carrying movie footage of the campus shootings, according to researchers at Sophos. However, clicking on the link downloads a malicious screensaver file, called Terror_em_Virginia.SCR), which installs a piece of spyware that acts as a banking Trojan, which can be used to steal passwords, user names and account numbers."
If you get such a spam, please report it.
