![Convicted Spammer Escapes Prison, Murders Family, Kills Himself [Spammers]](http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2008/07/spam-king2.jpg)
With dozens of Nigerian Lottery scammers now off the streets and better-informed Internet citizen perhaps a tad likely to click on phishing emails , disaster relief solicitations and credit card ripoffs , the ever-inventive spammer-hacker community has pioneered a new approach to online grifting: fake news alerts. Maybe you've seen recent e-mails claiming to be from MSNBC and CNN with sensational headlines like " Elizabeth Taylor Found Murdered at Home " and "Mary-Kate Olsen guilty for Heath Ledger's Death" (see above") -- and even the alarming, "Europeans dislike Americans attitudes [sic]." Graham Cluey, a security specialist at Sophos , made a video about a new trend of CNN News Alerts like "Michael Jackson is sued by his own dog"--that lure users to a rogue site that will attempt to infect their computers with malicious software posing as a video plug-in. In my own e-mail account today, I counted 42 fake news e-mails--though Gmail is apparently catching on, as it refused to give me the option to click on the nasty links. At his security blog, Gary Warner has a list of the titillating headlines the phony CNN Spammers are using -- some which refer to actual stories -- like the "real" 95-year-old Batman from Texas -- and others that don't, such as "`Dark Knight' - download it instantly fo free [sic]." One more reason never to believe anything you read. ...
The Beijing 2008 Olympic Games in China are finally underway and, unfortunately, the sporting events that have everyone's attention at the moment have also encouraged the circulation of a new eddy of cyber crime. This year sees the first time that the Olympics will have complete online global coverage - something that has been happily greeted by internet fans worldwide. However, it has been reported that people are finding Olympic-themed related junk email messages popping up in their inboxes. These phishing scams attempt to trick individuals into opening malicious email attachments and visit fraudulent sites. Furthermore, there are emails notifying people that they have won an Olympic Lottery, which they will only be able to claim by entering their personal and financial details. There is no doubt that Spammers and hackers have seen this year's Olympic Games as an opportunity to take advantage of the uneducated and naive users of the Internet, with many individuals still largely unaware of the danger giving your details away can pose. These malicious messages are largely being spammed using the Rustock botnet, which is a large spam campaign involving users clicking on a headline in an email which then opens a fake online video prompting the user to install a specific codec file in order to watch it. However, the user is unaware that they are actually downloading malware that installs the Rustock botnet software which, as a resul ...
A couple of weeks ahead of the Beijing Olympics, Spammers continue to rollout millions of messages with an Olympic theme. Major topical events always gather their share of Spammers trying to capitalize on them in their junk mailings. The huge spectacle of the Olympics is no exception. Security vendor Secure Computing said they have seen a huge spike in this spam. In the past week, as many as 360 million showed up online. Their common theme of Olympic news led to their containing subject lines like "President Bush calls for Olympic boycott," "China issues anti-terror guide for Olympic games," and "Beijing Olympics cancelled, moved to Atlanta." Security vendor Symantec said in its July 2008 State of Spam report that Spammers tried in June to entice people with an Olympic Lottery scheme. That junk mail asked for personal information via email, in order to process the purported winner's prize. Naturally there is no Olympic Lottery, only a conduit to hand over private details to criminals.
