Zeus Botnet Targets Facebook

Another day another boatload of Phishing e-mails from scumbag scammers. This time around the scam e-mails are targeting Facebook users and, according to the report, the e-mails look fairly convincing.

This morning a rather aggressive one two punch started coming into our filters, and is currently still very active attempting to deliver Facebook phshing emails at a rate of about 1000 messages per minute per domain used with about 30 domains being utilized. That's 30,000 messages per minute from this botnet, or 500 per second. On top of that we've already seen about 1.65 million messages from this campaign.
