    Bug The first big Google+ spam campaign blasted out by pill-pushers !!!

    Google+ spam campaign starts hurray . In what may very well be the first major cybercriminal campaign exploiting the Google+ brand, spammers are sending out bogus Google+ invitations that in reality point to online pharmacies.

    The messages look similar to the real emails that users may receive from friends who are already members of Google+.



    However, clicking on the links will not take you to the new social network, but instead take you to a pharmacy website set up to sell the likes of Viagra, Cialis and Levitra to the unwary. In the case of the site shown below, they even have a special July 4th promotion - just in case you were hoping for additional fireworks on the night.



    The spammers are no doubt hoping that the email will be too hard to resist for many people eager to see Google's new social network, although just how many users will be tempted to buy drugs online is a mystery.
    So careful before clicking on the button learn more . Have fun .

    I don't need to know everything, I just need to know where to find it, when I need it.
