SCAM of the Week: Free Pizza Delivers Malware



There is a current, active cybercrime campaign going, using the tempting lure of free pizza, researchers at Cloudmark warned. They spotted new spam emails claiming to be a campaign from "Pizza Hut", which social engineer recipients to "click and claim" their delicious reward.

"Of course, if you click on the link, you do not get a coupon for free pizza – you get a zip file containing a Windows executable which will make you part of a malicious botnet called Asprox or Kuluoz," they said.

So we have added a new template in the Social Media section. We recommend sending this out ASAP, to inoculate your users just one more time and keep them on their toes.
