Barack Obama’s sex videos.
A major part of the world is rejoicing over the new American President’s victory leading to a rendez-vous with American and World history. The first downside of all this is the other part of the world that is even more rejoicing over this victory is the hacker/spammer/malware provider world as the interest in Obama is a blessed source for phishing.
Asher Moses explains how the “Obama” spam email campaign was launched even before the new president had made his victory speech. Messages came round inviting people either to check indepth results, follow speeches or adviser meetings and even “Obama sex tapes“. Variations of such attacks will surely be seen in coming days and we are to expect that new versions of such emails will come round in huge quantities.
My opinion is that, in the coming months, the whole world will be having tens of thousands of Obama spam mails until the official nomination in January. Anyways, this is a real huge and well orchestrated attack surfing on the buzz of Obama’s election.
