Spammers Target LinkedIn Members with Malware
Malicious cyber criminals aren’t just targeting Twitter users; LinkedIn members are in their crosshairs, as well.
LinkedIn members were reportedly deluged with spam e-mail messages masquerading as connection requests from the career-oriented social networking site in the morning of Sept. 27.
Clicking on these requests sent users to a Web site that displayed "PLEASE WAITING...4 SECONDS" before redirecting them to Google. During those four seconds, the Web site downloaded ZeuS data-theft malware on to their PCs, according to Cisco.
