Over the weekend we have seen an increase in the number of spam emails with dramatic subject lines. They contain a link to the file r.html hosted on several compromised websites. We have previously reported on these here.
Some of the subject lines seen today are:
Incredible Hulk premiere highlights
Homeless man wins lottery
Clinton says: Hiliray cheated on me
Olsen twins caught nude on camera
Playboy party invite
Man goes berserk in office
Brad Pitt strips naked for Playgirl
Video of rampage in Tokyo
Angelina Jolie dies in plane crash
Plane crashed into White House, injuring hundreds
Clicking on the link in one of these emails will take you to a malicious 'PornTube' website that contains malware and hidden IFrames.
It is important that recipients of these emails not open them or click on links inside them. Many website hosting malware also contain scripts or IFrames hosted on other sites that can exploit vulnerabilities in browsers and plugins to install malware without the users knowledge.
MailMarshal customers are protected from these emails with SpamCensor 252.
