Beware of the CNN.com daily top ten email

CNN com is one of the most respected websites when it comes to breaking international news. Unfortunately, some spammers seem to be taking advantage of the CNN name to victimize innocent victims. I opened my email today and found one email with subject “CNN.com Daily Top 10″. Here is what the email contains:

The sender of the email is Harjinder-lkpn@321facets.com and obviously, a company like CNN international would not be using unprofessional emails like this one. I googled for more information about the CNN.com daily top ten email and it is indeed a malware spam. According to one forum, the  email actually offers a malware get_flash_update.exe. When downloaded, malwares like viruses can pose security threats to your computer.

As always, email users are advised not to click on any of the links from these suspicious mails, not even the unsubsribe links commonly included in these spam messages.
