The Hackers that Stole Christmas

On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
3 Fake Security Software
2 Zlob Trojans
And a exploitation kit!!!
Cyber criminals are getting into the true spirit of Christmas, by showing selling people the way to steal your money.
Oh the Joy of the holidays and what better way for hackers to cheat the system by using the Christmas season to commit cybercrimes and scam millions of online shoppers. Online shopping is nothing new as we should all know by now. More and more people, including hackers, flock to consumer sites looking for the best deal on anything from iPods and computers to house slippers to “Exploitation Kits”. Cyber criminals have a gift of their own to distribute online but they do not have to look too hard to find it. Hackers have released a web malware exploitation kit which is designed for commercial gains through a Christmas marketing pitch.
Expect the cheesy Christmas movie about a cyber crim discovering Christmas to follow soon.
