Malicious SEO campaign targets Ford Motor, Panda
Panda Labs is reporting the discovery of a new malicious SEO (search engine optimization) campaign that targets the Ford Motor Company. Here’s what happens: “Simple Ford-related terms are linking to a video, a favorite method of infection used by criminals, where an end user is asked to install a codec. Once the codec is installed, instead of the video playing, the user is prompted with Malware warnings from 'MS Antispyware 2009'. The rogue anti-Virus will gladly remove the “infections” for a small fee of only $79.99 USD -- Act now. Supplies are limited. Fake SSL order forms are standing by,” reports The Tech Herald.
