New Virus Alert: Social networking “LinkedIn” being targeted

A new malware campaign is targeting
“LinkedIn”, a social networking site used by industry professionals.

Bogus e-mail invitations, appearing to originate from LinkedIn, entice
recipients into accessing a seemingly legitimate website. These websites
are actually malicious in nature and attempt to install malware on the
victim’s system. The specific malware is a variant of the stealthy Zeus
Trojan, which is designed to obtain passwords and banking credentials
without the user’s knowledge.

With the advent of Social Media access across the DoD, this malware campaign
represents a legitimate threat to Air Force Networks. Users are reminded to
never open unsolicited messages from unknown senders, especially those
containing untrusted links. These messages should be deleted at once.

Be Safe while online.
