Once again hackers have taken advantage of a major event to try and spread their dangerous malware all over the web. The same day that Barack Obama won the US election several ‘Obama’ themed malware emails have spread their dangerous wings all over the web.
Most of the emails make you believe you are being linked to some form of election news or celebration site when in fact you probably are downloading a dangerous piece of malware.
A major one that is being spread online sends the user to this page with a ‘video’ of a new speech by Obama;
The user is then prompted to open the video which in fact is not a new video but is a very dangerous trojan that will infect your PC.
If you do want to get new information on the election/Obama then never open anything from an email you are unsure of, just go to one of he major news websites and they will have all the information you need.
