Ebola Phishing and Malware Campaigns

US-Cert has made an interesting post on Ebola phishing scams as well as malware campaigns. As we know, whenever something is "in the news" (including tragic events, Olympic events, and even disease outbreaks) the spammers eventually start trying to take advantage with a spam or malware campaign. A managed anti-spam service like CudaMail sees these campaigns all the time. As usual, some basic hints include:

• Do not follow unsolicited web links or attachments in email messages.
• Maintain up-to-date antivirus software.
