Hot on the heels of the CNN Alerts: my custom alert email spam comes a new variant: msnbc.com: BREAKING NEWS spam.
The emails follow the same format as the CNN spam, with the link to the supposed featured story going to an unrelated third-party website which attempts to attack the users PC.
The site tries to download adobe_flash.exe to the users machine, which according to a string of security reports is used to infect trojans and/or worms to the user’s machine. | Delete these mails immediately, do not open, they contain malware and trojans!!
| Pas op voor Spoofers, Scammers en Phishers! | First of allNever buy something from a spammer or via unsolicited mail. Never answer a spammer. Never leave your email address on the Internet, your website, in forums, newsgroups, social networking or community sites. Spambots search the Internet for email addresses. Email adresses are sold between spammers. Do not open email attachments from unknown senders. Use a good anti virus program and download the updates regularly.Tip: Use a different email address on the Net, like Windows Live, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, Lycos Mail or use the Gmail from Google (advanced spam filter, 4.5 GB storage and virus protection)
Koop nooit iets via ongevraagde email berichten
Wie van spammers koopt, stimuleert ze en beloont hun methoden. Ga dus nooit in op het aanbod van een spammer. Geef geen antwoord aan spammers (ook niet om ze uit te schelden of te vervloeken). Plaats geen email adres op het Internet, websites, internetfora, nieuwsgroepen of andere community sites. Webrobots van spammers speuren automatisch het web af op zoek naar deze email adressen. Email adressen worden verhandeld door spammers. Open geen bijlagen van onbekende afzenders. Gebruik een goed anti virus programma en download de updates regelmatig.
Spammers, scammers, phishers, identity thieves, con artists and plain criminals, are all part of the same category. They are out there to annoy, harm or hurt you and trying to make your life miserable! Spammers are also responsible for the spreading of viruses, trojans, worms and malware. | | Digital Domain
