Lời
người dịch: Bạn nên cẩn thận khi đặt vé máy bay trực
tuyến. Các hãng hàng không Mỹ đã có những hành khách
bị lừa về việc này rồi đó.
Một chiến dịch mới
về spam thư điện tử hiện thực hóa Hàng không Mỹ là
đánh vào các hộp thư đến, Webroot cảnh báo, và các
khách hàng hàng không nên làm tốt để thoát ra khỏi thư
điện tử “khẳng định đặt chỗ sau đây” (nháy vào

A
new email spam campaign impersonating U.S. Airways is hitting
inboxes, warns
Webroot, and the airline's customers would do well to be on the
lookout for the following "booking confirmation" email
(click on the screenshot to enlarge it):
There
are obvious spelling mistakes that should alert users to the bogus
nature of the email, but a lot of people - "blinded" by the
legitimate looking graphics - don't regularly check for those.
The offered links take the victims to compromised sites that host the Blackhole exploit kit, and once it does its thing, they are unknowingly served with a variant of the Cridex information-stealing Trojan, currently detected by a little over half of the AV solutions employed by VirusTotal.
This is not the first email spam campaign impersonating an airline, and it won't be the last. Fake flight reservations and e-ticket verification emails are sent out every day, as the cost of doing it is small and easily recouped - in fact, the amount is surpassed many times - when even an extremely small percent of recipients fall for the scheme and get their computers infected.
