New Year celebrations have already been marred by cyber-criminals trying to
take advantage of the holiday season.
Mutant versions of W32/Dorf-AE, also known as Storm, have stopped using the
lure of Santa Claus's wife doing a striptease and are now posing as Happy New
Year e-cards.
Sophos
warned today that the latest malicious email campaigns offer links to websites
containing malware using a wide variety of seasonal subject lines, including:
A brand New Year 2008
Blasting New Year 2008
Dance to the New 2008 Year tune
Happy New Year 2008 to the one I love
New Year 2008 Wishes
The New Year has arrived
"Many people will be returning to their desks this morning after a lengthy
break for Christmas and New Year to a brimming bundle of unread emails," said
Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos.
"The danger is that the holiday hangover will make them less careful about
which messages they click on."
