“Websense Security Labs reports a new spam campaign that uses the US presidential election as a social engineering mechanism to install information-stealing code on a victim’s machine. Emails are circulating with fake news of a sex scandal affecting one of the candidates. Recipients of the email are encouraged to view a video supposedly involving the Democratic candidate Barack Obama. Users who click the link are shown a pornographic video and while the video plays for 14 seconds, malicious applications are installed on the victim’s machine.” source...
