iTunes Store Spam Campaign

Right after LinkedIn Spam Campaign, we saw a brand new Spam Campaign impersonating iTunes Store

The e-mail appears to arrive from on behalf of iTunes Store and is an exact copy of the official iTunes Store Receipt e-mail.

From the email header,

The whole purpose of the email is not to show what you have purchase from iTune Store, is to let you to click “Report a Problem” and lead you to a fake Adobe Flash installer.

After clicking the URL, we will be able to see,

The exe file is actually connecting to some .ru web site to download some other files.
