"Social" malware ready for the Olympic Games 2012
Description : The Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games is exactly 1 week away
and Websense Security Labs researchers are already seeing data-stealing
malware that aims to capitalize on the Games. Malware piggybacks on the
buzz surrounding current, high profile events like the Olympics in
order to steal personal data. Olympics-themed content armed with malware
is introduced mainly through social engineering-based attacks. The
cyber criminals behind the themed attacks know that they have a better
chance of enticing potential victims by appearing current and
relevant to a hot topic. That gets clicks, and the chance to spread
their data-stealing creations further.
