Who Says No One Uses MySpace Anymore?


So as to not leave any hard feelings, Zeus runs what appears to be an impromptu malware campaign pretending to be from MySpace this time. I say "impromptu" because if this truly is an offering from Zeus it lacks the good looking graphics that normally accompany its offerings. This to me looks more like a Bredo campaign, complete with the .zip attachment that comes right in the email. Zeus normally hosts its malware in the cloud and rarely brings it right to your inbox doorstep. I have yet to analyze it to give my personal findings however 9 other AV companies are detecting the sample as Zbot, so I'll go with that for now. It's not the first time Zeus has done a slimmed down plain text campaign, but it has been a good while.
