Another Horse Arrives
8 August 2008I have received another, different CNN spoof e.mail, this one ostensibly from
with subject CNN Alerts <ontlook_1970@brace4u.com>
, CNN Alerts: My Custom Alert![[screen capture of spoof e.mail]](wp-content/uploads/2008/08/cnnspoof2.gif)
now with a link to http://missglobe-albania.com/cnnplus.html — go there only at your own risk. The page again seeks to download and install malware adobe_flash.exe. See my earlier entry CNN Trojan Horse Attack
for some discussion of this malware.
I had received two such e-mails today when I checked my spam filter.
I've been getting these in my spam folder for the last few days too. And aol used to show you the real link address at the bottom of the window so you could see when it looked fishy. Now they just disable links and even if they ask you to enable them they still won't show the real address, i can only imagine the trouble that people get into with emails like this.
