Disasters and Global Warming Fuel the Malware Flames

I know many of you will find this hard to believe but the scumbags out there pumping out malware are opportunists that take advantage people at every turn. This concludes your totally obvious message of the day, carry on.


One of the easiest targets for spam and malware is natural disasters. When events like the earthquakes in Haiti and Chile, or the massive volcano eruption in Iceland capture the headlines, people are curious about the details and anxious to offer support in any way they can. In the wake of such disasters, users are very likely to click on and respond to invitations that seem even remotely legitimate.
