Bhutto Assassination Exploited for Spreading Malware
McAfee Avert Labs is reporting that malware distributors are not wasting any time capitalizing on the latest, widely publicized tragedy. Malware writers are pushing their Trojans by claiming they are a codec needed to run a purported video of the Bhutto assassination.
Claiming to be a New HD Codec, these malware authors attempt to social engineer users into believing they are downloading a legitimate codec for playing the video. At least 10 Blogger websites are observed to be hosting this fake video (at the time of writing this blog) which redirects the users to the typo-squatted domain containing fake codec.
The report also describes other drive-by exploits linked to the Bhutto assassination. Up to data AV software should detect these exploits.
