The Users Interested in Hillary Clinton’s campaign Speech Are tricked

According to PC WORLD the spam message tricking the users interested in Hillary Clinton’s campaign speech appeared on Thursday. Doug Bowers, Symantec’s senior director of anti-abuse engineering, says that “It is the first time we have seen the spam like this targeting Hillary Clinton.”

The victims of the trick download a Trojan to their desktops thinking they are provided with the speech, the purpose of that is sending more and more spams.

According to Symantec the only other candidate being abused for malware purposes in this way is Ron Pau. Neither Barack Obama nor John McCain have had names exploited by Malware.

NETWORKWORLD estimates it as software designed to damage or infiltrate an operating system without the owner’s authorization. These might be computer viruses, adware, Trojan horses.
