THE VAMPIRE BYTE SEARCH ENGINE SCAM

This scam targeted users searching “Stephenie Meyer”


• A result for “Stephenie Meyer at 365Multimedia.com” returned with a description of “Stephenie Meyer interview on Twilight the movie starring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart”.

• When clicked on, this link redirected users to a window informing them that they are infected with malware and they are then advised to download a phony antivirus software product to get rid of the infection.

• As Victims downloaded and installed the phony antivirus software they are asked for credit card information.

• Malware was then installed on the user’s computer and any financial information entered is sent off to cyber criminals.
