Japanese earthquake exploited by cyber-criminals

22 Mar , 2011 No Comments

Panda Security has sent out a warning to users who have been searching for articles and news about the Japanese earthquakes.

A certain link promises to show browsers a video of the quake when in fact, all it does is download malware onto your PC. This malware in turn, downloads more malware until your PC crashes.

Check out the article by Pandalabs, our malware laboratory for more info, and be careful of suspitious looking websites and videos when browsing.
