This time of the year, spam campaigns are increasingly adopting holiday themes to improve their malware distribution rate and steal users’ banking information or to trick victims into accessing fake online stores, security researchers warn.
Arghire先生节日很忙:这篇文章重点是提醒那些经常上网血拼一族要警惕假借节日(特别是圣诞和新年)名义的垃圾邮件欺诈活动,垃圾邮件们的可没闲心祝愿您圣诞新年快乐,它们盯着的只是用户的信用卡号!采用的伎俩有什么发票呀、订单确认啥的。不一而足。

To avoid falling victim to attacks carried out via spam, users should stay away from emails coming from unknown sources, especially those that arrive during the holiday season with alleged invoices or order confirmations attached to them. The phishing traffic for store-related scams has increased as well over the past weeks, and users should always make sure that they visit legitimate websites when looking to make a purchase.
“It's the time of year when we all get to celebrate with our families. For some of us, though, this will mean online shopping with all its potential pitfalls. And for some it will mean new devices and appliances to connect — with oblique instructions and undoubtedly some questions. Here are some tips to help keep you and yours safe and secure through the holidays and into the New Year,” the security researchers note.
传统的垃圾邮件欺诈方法不怎么奏效,于是欺诈者就想了新办法:通过发送一个貌似正常的WORD文件,而其中隐藏着恶意的宏,一旦用户开启这个宏,那么恶意代码就会在后台下载各种勒索软件、恶意软件等等,逼迫用户就范!
用户要特别留意邮件的来源!当然这说起来简单,但是实际做起来还是有些难度:每天我们的邮箱都可能被各种正规的商业广告充斥着!
点评:岁末年初,无论是剁手族还是平时连冰棍都不舍得MAI的一定都得小心,这可不分国内国外!骗子都一样哈。
