Prime Minister heart attack trojan spam run
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 G'day all Have just released an alert on a(nother) trojan spam run at: AL-2007.0026 -- [Win] -- "Prime Minister heart attack" trojan http://www.auscert.org.au/7314 Basically there being emails currently in circulation with a variety of subject lines, including: "Current Australia's Prime Minister survived a hear attack" "The life of the Prime Minister is in grave danger" "Prime Minister survived a heard attack" with a link to malicious websites, including: h**p://www,austr-news,com/ h**p://www,theaunews,com/ h**p://www,theau-news,org/ Anyone seeing a lot of this? Perhaps targeting other heads of state? Might be worth keeping an eye out as we've seen similar to this before: AL-2006.0069 -- [Win] -- "John Howard tragedy" email attachment installs Torpig credential stealing trojan http://www.auscert.org.au/6645 with similar 'hooks' in that one appearing to be targeting Italy and the UK at least with messages of their government leaders' reported assassination. Feedback appreciated.
