Spamvertised Intuit themed emails lead to Black Hole exploit kit

JMH · Jul 20, 2012

Cybercriminals are currently spamvertising millions of emails impersonating Intuit, in an attempt to trick end and corporate users into clicking on the malicious links found in the emails.

The emails pretend to be coming from Intuit’s PaymentNetwork and acknowledge the arrival of an incoming payment. In reality though, they redirect users to a Black Hole exploit kit landing URLs where client-side exploits are served, and ultimately malware is dropped on the infected hosts.
