Cybercriminals playing nasty Halloween tricks
Thu 29 Oct 2009 04:19:15 PM UTC — Deborah S. 
PandaLabs is reporting an increase in poisoned search terms related to Halloween costumes, related food recipes, haunted house directions, Halloween parties and the movie Halloween. The links lead to fake anti-virus software.
Other security experts are warning users to be wary of unsolicited email messages in the days leading up to Halloween. Typical scams include online greetings cards, or links to holiday sites such as the 'dancing skeleton' attack. The messages often contain a Trojan attachment or a link to a malicious page disguised as a greetings card or video file.
Please rate Halloween-related sites so all WOT users will know whether they are trustworthy or not. And have a safe and Happy Halloween!Trackback URL for this post:

Crime getting into the spirit.
That's just what it is. Not that it justifies anything they do.
When the holidays come around, so do the hijackers!
When Christmas gets here, it'll be the DDoS of all time, so no one gets presents;
plus, it's the countdown to the endless viruses, making the kickoff of the new year.
Being wary is for every time of the year, but mainly during the holidays.
...but on Christmas, you people probably have better things to do than surf the web. Like spending time with your family, or racking up a huge phone bill talking with your friends.
