Apparently malware writers have “cranked up” their production this year. Security firm Panda Security has reported that 20 Million new strains of malware have been created by “the badguys” this year already. That includes over 33% of all active malicious programs.
US-CERT is aware of public reports of email scams circulating related to the Swine Flu. The attacks arrive via an unsolicited email message typically containing a subject line related to the Swine Flu. These email messages may contain a link or an attachment. If users click on this link or open the attachment, they may be directed to a phishing website or exposed to malicious code.
