Cyber Criminals use H1N1 Emails...

[Andrew Diaz]

<r>Hi Everyone: <br/>
<br/>
I wanted to bring to everyone’s attention a known threat that has recently taken on a very timely disguise. The trojan Infostealer.Banker.C has been making its way onto people’s computers masquerading as an email containing information about the H1N1 vaccine.<br/>
<br/>
The malicious emails contain links to a web page that appears to be the CDC. (One trick for distinguishing a fake site from the real one is the domain; if the information in the URL just prior to .com or .net does not match the location you believe yourself to be you should leave the site immediately.) The infection is delivered via a dubious link claiming to contain information about your H1N1 shot and medical history. The link is labeled "Download_Archive (130KB)". The link will upload an executable file, which if installed will infect your machine. Once your computer is infected the trojan is designed to send your valuable files to cybercriminals.<br/>
<br/>
Regardless of which security software you run, you can use the free removal tool below if you are infected with this specific Trojan: <br/>

Please let me know if you have any questions about this or other online safety tips.<br/>
<br/>

The use of technology to commit crimes is known as cybercrime. In simple words, stealing someone’s identity personal information, or financial information through online platforms is a cybercrime. It began with social media and today, it is spreading in the roots.

Fraudsters are now using emails and transaction pages of eCommerce sites to steal data. Every industry faces cybercrimes and faces a tough time in combating the problems.
