Fake H1N1 E-mail Alerts Lead to Malware

Malicious hackers are using fake alerts around H1N1 (Swine Flu) vaccines to trick end users into installing malware on Windows computers. The latest malware campaign begins with e-mail messages offering information regarding the H1n1 vaccination. The messages contain a link to a bogus Centers for Disease Control and Prevention site with prompts to create a user profile. During this process, a malware file gets planted on the user s machine. Messages are being received at a rate of 18,000 per minute, more than one million per hour.
