Scammers Customize News to Deliver You Malware

Oh no! There is a bomb in your (insert town here), what should you do? Ummm, duh...click this link to find out more information on (insert town here)! Sincerely, your friend Mal Ware.


The scammers are using IP address geolocation techniques to figure out what city the recipient lives in and are localizing the fake bomb news to that location. Meanwhile, clicking on the fake Reuters video page leads to malicious Waledac code being downloaded on the computer, the security firms said.
