Child porn blackmail spam carries trojan
Spoof mail claims to come from anti-child porn site.
A spam campaign claiming to come from child porn activists ASACP accuses recipients of visiting child
porn sites, suggesting a donation to the organisation will persuade them to take no further action. Although
the tone of the mail is mild, the implied threat is clearly intended to scare readers into investigating
further.
Attached to the email is a zip file, claiming to hold details of transactions involving the target, but in fact
containing a trojan which installs browser helper objects.
The ASACP site currently carries warning banners at the top of several pages - see
here.
