Sophos has warned PC users of unsolicited emails and protect their web gateways, after finding out a spam campaign, which is said to be masquerading as an electronic postcard, however in fact makes an attempt to allure the incautious into being bug-ridden by a web-based Trojan horse.
Sophos claims to have taken over hundreds of the spam messages being disseminated that are contained with the subject line: You have received a postcard!
Rest of the body text reads as follows:
‘Hello friend !
You have just received a postcard from someone who cares about you!If you’d like to see the rest of the message click here to receive your animated postcard!
Computer users who are tempted to go after the web link are landed to a downloadable executable file (postcard.exe), which is made out proactively by Sophos products as Zapchas-A and is developed to let remote hackers access to the bug-ridden Windows PC.
