Following standard practice, virus distributors take advantage of a news item to try to draw attention to an e-mail recipients to come to an infected attachment. The FBI has issued a notice warning that many emails that advertise photos or video of Bin Laden's death. The message asked to click on a file that could contain a virus that would infect the computer and the remote control of the sender for data theft.
A similar ploy was detected on Facebook where there are pages that advertise a video "of the execution of Osama," which offers a link to be copied and pasted into the sale of the browser. The same goes to a page misleading though experts have not detected that hosts a malicious program.
When accessing the page, which displays the fake photo of the corpse of Osama published in the early hours of the news, the site encourages the surfer to click on the window of "like" Facebook. The link is replicated to all contacts in the social network member. By not doing so, denied access to the video course.
Doing so presents a survey that has nothing to do with the news. Cybercriminals receive client's money that has been commissioned, according to Sophos, whenever it is filled in by a netizen. It is not the first time you use this estratatgema. One of the most recent was at the time of the earthquake in Japan.
Taking advantage of the tragedy, criminal groups sent spam (unwanted junk mail) that an invitation to make financial donations to a bank account, obviously, had no end of solidarity.
