Job Spam Uses Twitter

TrendLabs researchers were alerted to the discovery of spammed messages that contained Twitter URLs. The spam uses subjects such as N3 Earn Extra Income! 7L, C2 Exrtra Income Daily 4P, and Q0 $$$ Oppurtunity 6O. It informs users about supposed work-from-home opportunities for Google that pay good sums of money. It then entices users to click the Twitter URL to view the details of the bogus 'opportunities.'

Click

When users click the link, they will land in the sender's Twitter page where another URL is posted in a tweet along with a message that encourages them to work online. The said URL points to a bogus site about working online and some success stories. This spam attack used Twitter as a technique to lure users into clicking the link. Since Twitter is a trusted source, users may think the email they received is legitimate.

Users are advised to be wary of opening any suspicious-looking emails. Trend Micro protects users via the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network, which detects and blocks this kind of spam. Non-Trend Micro product users can use free tools like eMail ID to stay secure.

Fake Blogs Lead to FAKEAV

Media reports have revealed the existence of fake blogs that were used to spread FAKEAV malware. The blogs do not actually contain any useful content. Instead, they have posts that contain nothing but images with post titles that use a wide variety of topics. The images used appear to have simply been taken from a Google Images search with the post title in question as the search term.

If a user visits the blogs in question by merely entering their URLs, they will see the harmless images. If they came from search engines such as Google, however, they will instead download a new FAKEAV variant, which is detected as TROJ_FAKEAV.FFGZ.

Click for larger view

 

The JavaScript file that is used by the fake blogs is detected as JS_FRAUDLOAD.AP.  The domains or actual FAKEAV drop sites involved in this attack are already blocked by Trend Micro Smart Protection Network.
