Fake NFL Website Contains Malicious Trojan Horse
11th Sep 2007
An outbreak of malicious spam emails targeting NFL fans has been launched.
The message lures recipients to a fake NFL website with the enticement of a 'Free NFL Game Tracker', users who download the tracker are actually installing a Trojan horse, according to email and Internet content security provider Marshal.com
"This new campaign featuring the NFL tracker is not just designed to target ardent NFL fans but also to exploit the emerging popularity of web-based football fantasy leagues," said Bradley Anstis, director of Product Management at Marshal. "The Storm Gang are experts at manipulating the latest trends in Internet usage to lure unsuspecting Internet users into their traps, so their move to target the NFL and fantasy leagues is not unexpected."
