Fake Quake Takes CakeChecking my logs for the day, here are the fake Beijing earthquake malware lure Subject: lines that knocked on my server's door:
- Subject: A new deadly catastrophe in China
- Subject: China is paralyzed by new earthquake
- Subject: China's most deadly earthquake
- Subject: Chinese people are horrified by new earthquake
- Subject: Deadly catastrophe in Chinese capital
- Subject: Earth tremors in China is going on
- Subject: Terrible earthquake devastated Beijing
- Subject: The most powerful quake hits China
- Subject: Toll mounts in China earthquake
- Subject: Unprecedented earthquake in China
I received duplicates of only two, so there are probably more Subject: lines in the wild. Links in the messages lead to lots of different .cn (China) domains whose IP addresses change with each trace.
