E-Mail Scam - Watch Out For Scams Tied To The Olympics Major news events
often serve as a hook for e-mail scams, and this month's Beijing Olympics is
no exception. The United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT)
has received reports of phishing activity, some linked to Storm Worm, that
uses Olympic-themed messages. This Trojan is spread via an e-mail claiming
the Olympics will be delayed or canceled because of the May earthquake in
China. The message contains a link to a malicious website which tricks
visitors into clicking on what looks like an embedded flash video player. In
reality, it leads to the download of the executable file
"beijing.exe" that can infect the user's system with a Trojan.
