Spam Mail Containing Link to a Fake Soldiers Blog Contains Trojan E-mail users are now getting, what looks like, a chance to view a soldier's blog from his experiences in Iraq. Users are encouraged to click on a link in order to read what the soldier sending the link has experienced. However, the link in this e-mail connects the e-mail user to a fake blog that appears legitimate, and without their knowledge, two Trojans are installed. SPAMfighter products can stop this threat. "Spammers and virus creators try to lure e-mail users in by using very intriguing topics that many people would be likely to click on. It is very important e-mail users never click on a link in an e-mail unless it is from a known sender." Comments co-owner and co-founder Martin Thorborg. The spam mail encourages users to go to see the blog of a group of soldiers in Iraq. The site users are taken to is a virus website and looks legitimate and extremely real as the creators of this website have reused legitimate pictures from other real blog sites, as well as videos from YouTube.
