11 Malware Alert: Incoming Fax Report
UGNN spam traps have received a series of exploits since last night, all titled as “Fax Reports”. Cyber criminals attempt to persuade victims into opening a fake incoming fax email in order to trick them to click a malicious link in a DropBox account capable of downloading malware onto the computer system and/or directing the victim to a drive-by-download site, including malicious Web sites capable of browser exploitation.
A number of the other detection sites have also picked up this latest iteration of the attack:
