Websense® Security LabsTM has received reports of a phishing attack that claims to be from the popular Columbian news site, Eltiempo.com.
The report claims that the presidents of Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela, countries that have recently been in political conflict, have shaken hands. The email tries to lure recipients into clicking links that promise exclusive videos and photos, including footage of the presidents shaking hands.
The link leads to a Trojan Downloader executable hosted in Norway (MD5: 25039a99d27562a1707ac7320b77744d).
