Lunar Eclipse Email Attack
added February 21, 2008 at 12:56 pm

US-CERT is aware of an email attack circulating that is related to the recent lunar eclipse.  The email contains a message indicating that there is a video of  the lunar eclipse available and instructs users to follow a link to download the video.  If a user clicks on this link, an executable file will be downloaded that contains a Trojan program. This Trojan program may allow an attacker to take control of an affected system.

US-CERT encourages users to take the following preventative measures to mitigate the security risks:
Install anti-virus software and keep virus signatures up-to-date.
Do not follow unsolicited links.
