Warning: Fake Facebook Photo Notifications Contain Malware

Filed under: Info — Tags: , , — blackboxblog @ 3:43 pm

Be careful about opening emails that claim you have been tagged in a Facebook photo, because they may actually be malware, according to a security expert.

Anti-virus supplier Sophos outlined the threat on Wednesday in their blog. SophosLabs intercepted a “spammed-out email campaign” which was designed to spread malware which looks like the screen shot below.

facebook-malware-email

The link in the email takes the user to a malicious script, which exposes the user’s computer to malware. However, within a few seconds, the user’s browser is directed to a presumably innocent Facebook page like the one below to act as a smokescreen.

SophosLabs recommends checking the “Facebook” email addresses closely in emails and hover your mouse over the link, at which point you should see it doesn’t go to a Facebook page.

Kodak Gallery closing at the end of the month!!

Filed under: Info — Tags: , — blackboxblog @ 3:57 pm

Are you a Kodak Digital Camera or Kodak Gallery User?Kodak Gallery Closure

Then this email is for you. It has been brought to our attention by one of our customers that Kodak Eastman have stopped their online gallery service. This has been as a result of a restructuring of Kodak’s internal operations and their issues at the beginning of the year.
An email has been sent out by Kodak advising online gallery users to act quickly or lose some or all of your photographs. If you are a gallery user, it is important that you do act to avoid this.

So what can you do to sort this?

First of all, the deadline for acting is the 23rd of July so there is no cause for immediate panic but Kodak have made it clear that past this date, you will not be able to access the service.

Kodak’s original email

Dear valued Kodak Gallery member,
As you may be aware, earlier this year, Eastman Kodak filed for U.S. bankruptcy court protection in order to restructure the company for future growth. As part of that restructuring, we recently announced that we would cease operations of our Kodak Gallery US and Kodak Gallery Canada businesses on July 2, 2012, as a result of a sale of those assets. Sadly, today, we must also announce that in order to best enable future Kodak success, we will be ceasing all other remaining Kodak Gallery business worldwide as well, also effective July 2, 2012, 9pm CET/ 7pm GMT.
Due to Kodak Gallery’s closing on July 2, 2012 it is urgent that you take the following actions to protect your photos and projects. Please take a moment to:
Download your Kodakgallery.co.uk photos or they will be lost Complete any unfinished projects and purchase them Purchase any extra copies of projects you’ve made previously, including photo books and calendars Please note: If you use Kodak Easyshare software you will be able to download your photos until July 23, 2012, 9pm CET/ 7pm GMT. Click here to download Easyshare software.
After July 2, 2012, 9pm CET/ 7pm GMT, your current account on Kodakgallery.co.uk will be closed and any items in your shopping cart or projects in your account will be permanently deleted. You may continue to download your photos until July 23, 2012, 9pm CET/ 7pm GMT, but after that time, all remaining photos in your account will be deleted.
Kodak, the brand you love and trust, will remain open for business. Please visit Kodak.co.uk for a range of photo solutions and options to meet your ongoing needs.
We want to thank you for being a loyal Gallery customer. Please visit Kodakgallery.co.uk until July 2, 2012, 9pm CET/ 7pm GMT, to see special pricing for any final products you may want to order. For any additional questions, please visit our Help Center.
