E-Mail Scam - Watch Out For Scams Tied To The Olympics
Major news events often serve as a hook for e-mail scams, and this
month's Beijing Olympics is no exception. The United States Computer
Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) has received reports of phishing
activity, some linked to Storm Worm, that uses Olympic-themed
messages. This Trojan is spread via an e-mail claiming the Olympics
will be delayed or canceled because of the May earthquake in China.
The message contains a link to a malicious website which tricks
visitors into clicking on what looks like an embedded flash video
player. In reality, it leads to the download of the executable file
"beijing.exe" that can infect the user's system with a Trojan.
