Blackhole Exploit Kit Spam Run Using AT&T as Bait
August 03, 2012
Spammers seeking to distribute blackhole exploit kits use of a legitimate email notification purportedly coming from AT&T. The message seeks to lure potential victims to click a malicious link. Once clicked, it redirects to a site hosting a malicious JavaScript. While users patiently wait for the website to load, the script is already pointing them to a blackhole exploit kit server, where an exploit code starts to execute. A .JAR file is executed, downloading other malicious files onto the victim's machine.
