News reports have stated that hackers are now merging the physical and virtual together to plant malware on user machines. I'll explain this a little further...
Basically, a victim comes back to their parked car to find an official looking parking ticket on the windshield. Apparently, the ticket states that if they visit a certain website they will have access to view footage of the violation from Closed Caption TV (CCTV) footage...which most parts of the U.S. only have in limited use. Once they visit the website, the Vundo Trojan installs itself and tells them they should also download a fake scanner to help remove 'other' bad programs that this site so dutifully discovered.
Their "stop at nothing" attitudes never cease to amaze me. I'm forced to shake my head in disgust at this latest scam.
