Child porn spam hides Trojan
Cyber-criminals have launched a "massive spoof email attack" that accuses victims of being associated with a child porn site in a bid to trick them into downloading malware.
The messages, which use the subject line 'CP investigation was started', claim that the recipient's email address has been found in a child porn database discovered by the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP).
The email actually contains the Agent-CPK Trojan horse.
The ASACP has published a warning on its website, informing recipients of the message that they may be at risk of infection.
