Websense® Security Labs has received reports of a phishing attack that claims to be from Univision, a major Hispanic TV network.
The report claims that Fidel Castro, who has been ill, suffered a sudden heart attack early yesterday and died. The email lures the recipients into clicking the links for exclusive videos and photos, including footage of Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez crying by Fidel’s coffin.
The link leads to a Trojan Downloader .exe hosted in Korea (MD5: 58b7c7a3857c44c860992854397732b1).
At the time of this alert, anti-virus software was not providing adequate coverage for this attack.
