Internetnews.com is reporting that our cybercriminals most recent victims are the users on Digg.com. Digg.com is a common place for people to share stories and news going on around the world. Unfortunately, some hackers have so far posted 52 URLs for users to potentially click on and then download malware. These URLs are usually related to some sort of celebrity story, and they then get the users to click on them and eventually infest their PCs.
Lesson learned here is always know what you are clicking on, and think twice before providing your credit card information or other personal information. Leadpile Lead Exchange wants to make sure and provide any new news we have to our partners, so we can all be well informed.
