Spamers have declared the Third World War
A wave of unusual spam swept yesterday on the internet. Spammers used a social exploit about the beginning of the Third World War . The following headlines were used in the mailing list: “20,000 American soldiers in Iran,” “The American Army crossed the Iranian border,” and “Third World War began.”
The link in the spamming letters led to a video with the image of a nuclear explosion with the text "Just that the Delta subdivisions and the US Air Force invaded Iran. About 20 thousand soldiers crossed the border and broke the resistance of the Iranian army. This video was made by an American soldier this morning. Click on the video to see the first minutes of the Third World War. Help us, Lord. ”
When the video is launched, Troj / Tibs-UO Trojan and Mal / ObfJS-AY malicious script are launched.
It seems that spammers have begun to realize that the easiest way to distribute malicious code is to attract the attention of as many people as possible using unusual and exclusive content. Finally, they came up with something new and interesting instead of proposals to increase the penis or to help take out the capital from Nigeria.
')
Those who know about the work of the stock market argue that such public misinformation is as old as the world and has been used by stock sharks for years to put pressure on quotes (for example, to change the price of oil).
However, the appeal of spammers to relevant news stories can not but alarm. Splicing virus writers, spammers and traditional media is unlikely to lead to something good.
