Here’s a look at the top three email threats . These are spam campaigns that delivered malware through attachments claiming to be documents or photos.
- Resume – The messages pumped out by this spam. look like they are from someone the recipient sent a resume to and tells them an edited and cleaned up version is attached. If that attached zip file is opened, a hidden .exe will quietly contact a remote server and download malware. This exploit is clearly designed to take advantage of the unemployment problem in the U.S. and is often sent to addresses harvested from job search sites like Monster and CareerBuilder. These messages are particularly sneaky because they are well written with no grammar or spelling errors, which is unusual for most spam.
- Docs – This campaign pumps out malicious spam that looks like it came from a legit company. The attachment claims to be important corporate documents but is actually malware. These messages even include a real company’s name, fax, and phone number.
- Air France – This is a more traditional spam . that uses the tried and true trick of exploiting a recently headline or pop culture phenomenon. In this case it claims to be providing exclusive photos of the Air France plane crash. Unlike the previous two threats, this one has the usual hallmarks of spam including broken English and is easy to spot.
- images: by sending some images are look like very cute .and putting some hidden tool in image whan u save or double click on image that will be activated. and trying to contact to hackers server.
