Scammers Getting Through With Flash
(1/1)
Ehtyar:
Spammers are getting around anti-spam devices by using innocuous-looking flash links.
Online scammers have found a new way to skirt anti-spam filters, this time by making use of Adobe Flash files hosted on free websites.
Spam messages with innocuous-looking content contain links to Flash-based files on ImageShack.com and elsewhere, according to a report from anti-spam service MessageLabs. Then commands embedded in the files redirect the recipient to sites that punt Viagra, work-at-home offers and free software updates.
