New Trojan Attack Masquerades As CNN News Report On Gaza

The CNN Trojan lures users to click on a link that promises video and further details about events in Gaza. The link takes the user to a realistic-looking CNN Website that promises a compelling video. Another popup states that the user doesn’t have the proper Flash Player, and that he should click to install a more current version. This final click installs the Trojan, which is designed to search the user’s computer for SSL-related credentials. The attack looks much like a CNN-lookalike attack that occurred in August.”]
