Coca-Cola and McDonalds Email Malware
Posted December 3, 2008
I’m not loving it. Spyware Techie is reporting that Coca-Cola and McDonalds emails containing malware are being sent to inboxes around the world.
The Coca-Cola spoofed spam message appears to come from the coca-cola company and includes a zip file attachment named promotion.zip. The email message may look legitimate as it states the attachment has details about a new online game and a chance to win Coca-Cola drinks for life. That may sound like a great deal too many computer users as some may choose to download and open the zip file attachment. Unfortunately, if the attachment is opened and the executable file is access it can then infect your system with a Trojan dropper that could have the ability to download or install malware.
It could be malware. On the other hand, free Coke for life…..
No, I and everyone else must remain strong and delete these emails.
