    Confused Google+ fake invites = malware

    The fake invite has a link pointing to google****.redirectme.net. When accessed it redirects to a very common Brazilian trojan banker, a .cmd file hosted at Dropbox and already detected by our Heuristic engine.

    The most interesting thing in that message is another link pointing to a form hosted at Google Docs. The message shows the link as “send the invitation to your friends” but it’s a fake form created to collect names and e-mail addresses of new victims:
    If you are interested in joining Google+, please be patient and not believe in supposed invites received in e-mails

    Thanks for the warning KaYaN, this is worth knowing about. Like Bearcat I don't think I will be joining Google + any time soon.
    Linux Distro at the moment Fedora 17 / Firefox 12.0

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