The latest newsworthy event being exploited by spammers is the recent lunar eclipse. According to a security alert issued by Websense, a new wave of spam has emerged, promising videos of the eclipse. Instead, it downloads a Trojan onto the user's computer and steals personal info. The malicious links are delivered in emails with subjects like "Shocking video with Total Moon eclipse," "Total Moon Eclipse Video on NASA TV," "Lunar Eclipse Video," and "Your guide to the total lunar eclipse." Previous attacks have exploited the deaths of Pakistani leader Benazir Bhutto and actor Heath Ledger.
