Looking through my Spam this morning and noticed this.
From: msnbc-recipients@admin41.us
Subject: “Possible radiation leaks on 100miles area around San Clemente Nucklear Power Station.”
Body: “CNN, San Clemente, CA – Major Problems have been occured at San Clemente Nucklear Power Station – 20-year old circuit breaker fails to close, creating a 4,000-volt arc and fire. Possible radiation leaks on 100miles area. Evacuation process has been started – View last videofile”
The hyperlink contained in the email points to: “http:// mainnews2. aspx59.in/ news_report.php? pid=19fbkfszldDsfakjcOkhb”
I put the spaces in to keep anyone from accidentally clicking.
Now how many people do you know who would click without even thinking this is a Hoax? I do not know what the hyperlink does. I do not intend to find out. I know it can be nothing good. I just find it interesting.
It is a new twist on using fear to trick users to go to what I assume is a malicious site.
