The Swine Flu pill spam has started and it’s taking a few Hollywood stars names in vain. Nothing out of the ordinary with the sites on the far end yet though I do expect Oseltamivir [AKA Tamiflu] will get some extra exposure once the affiliate pill sites are updated.

Subjects:
First US swine flu victims!
US swine flu statistics
Salma Hayek caught swine flu!
Swine flu worldwide!
Swine flu in Hollywood!
Swine flu in USA
Madonna caught swine flu!
Also we’ve noticed domain name registrations mentioning the word swine are up by about 30 times and you can bet your daughters it’s not all going to be “whitehat” SEO.

Hmm. I’ve never seen any of those.. but then again, my email address doesn’t often get spam…
Is there some MTIS or Avert Notice with more detail for customers?
Thanks,
JC
It is fairly inevitable. The sad part is that the Internet has such potential as a resource of instant news and information, but because spam purveyors, malware developers, and phishing attackers prey on the news headlines most likely to draw attention people have to be much more cautious and filter the news and information through a lens of skepticism.
There is real information out there as well. Just exercise some common sense. Don’t click on links from within emails (open a web browser and find the site manually rather than clicking a link that could redirect you to a malicious site) and don’t open any file attachments.
