Paypal “You Just Sent a Payment”” spam leads to malware”

A new malicious spam campaign has just launched this morning targeting Paypal users. This malware campaign attempts to “social engineer” users into clicking a link that they know they shouldn’t click on. The criminals believe (and from what we’ve seen, correctly) that when presented with the news that you just sent $100 to someone from your Paypal account, you will have a panic reaction and click on the link. This particular version of the campaign just started about 2.5 hours ago.”]
