Greetings E-Mail Scam - Flu Outbreak Leads To Scam Outbreak As they do with most every major news event, cybercriminals are attempting to cash in on the worldwide hysteria over H1N1 swine flu by using a variety of online scams. These include fraudulent e-mails selling swine flu survival guides or bogus vaccines and medications. One of the more serious spam messages contains a malicious PDF file that purports to answer frequently asked questions about the swine flu. When a user accesses the file, malcode within the PDF tries to drop another piece of malware onto the user's system. If a victim opens the file, their machine is immediately infected with a Trojan, which tries to steal sensitive data.
There have also been Search Engine Optimization (SEO) attacks where malware writers register domains related to the swine flu news event, and "game" the search engines' site-ranking algorithms to have their domains displayed among the top items when users search for information on the event. These bogus websites claim to have products available for purchase that will "prevent, treat and even cure" the swine flu virus.
