...Speaking of Malicious Attachments In Google Spam


Just had this come across one of our honeypots a few minutes ago: Google spam linking to an infected executable file. 

So far AV detection is pretty spotty, and of the ones that are identifying it, it is typically falling under the "generic detection" categories.

The spam itself has a porn twist to it (as opposed to the health and pill related spam that we usually see).  The sample that landed in our honeypot has a subject of "Rihanna Exposed" and a short message body which reads "Download and Watch" which is a link to the malware (abusing Google) at   http://www.google.com/pagead/iclk\?sa=l&ai=HvlJeh&num=33195&adurl=http://REDACTED.pl/video.exe (redacted since the site is still hosting live malware).
