Websense® Security Labs™ ThreatSeeker™ Network
has discovered that malware authors are already using Christmas themes this year as a social engineering tactic, in an effort to gain control over compromised machines. This campaign uses email messages in the form of e-greetings, leading to supposed animated postcards. These actually lead to a Trojan backdoor that has been distributed in previous malicious spam campaigns.
An example of the post card:
Make sure you know for sure that someone sent you a card. If you really want to be sure then call and ask where they sent it from.
With that info,
Safer Surfing!
