PandaLabs detects politically oriented spam

In the last few hours, PandaLabs has detected email messages which, claiming to inform users about an attack on online banking services on November 9, advise them to visit a security web page. However, the content on this page is directed at criticizing the political situation in the United States.

The message subject is aimed at users of online banking services, while the text body includes the message mentioned above along with a link to a web page. The message has been crudely put together. In fact, to redirect users to the political web page it uses simple HTML code to link to the URL of the supposed security page. This means that if the message is received in plain text, the ploy is easily discovered.
