July 28, 2008 (Computerworld) - "Several airlines, including Delta Air Lines Inc. and Northwest Airlines Corp., have warned customers that bogus e-mails posing as ticket invoices contain malware and urged them to immediately delete the messages. A researcher at McAfee Inc. confirmed the campaign in a post to the company's blog*. The e-mails, which purport to be from an airline, thank the recipient for using a new "Buy flight ticket Online" service on the airline's site, provide a log-in username and password, and say the person's credit card has been charged an amount usually in the $400 range. An attachment claims to be the invoice for the ticket and credit card charge..."

01.14.2009 - "Websense... noticed that a campaign against Classmates Online, Inc had broken out. We observed that thousands of URLs were registered in one day to spread the worm. The newly-registered URLs were unusually long, had several subdomains, and always contained some specific words such as process, multipart and so on... The new campaign was spread by email.

When the email recipient viewed the invitation, they downloaded a worm named Adobe_Player10.exe. This could fool a user into thinking they needed the latest version of the Adobe Player, prompting them to run the executable... the main purpose of this worm was to steal user information and send it to a server located in the Ukraine.
