Spam Rides on Apple's iPhone 5 Release

As early as now, cybercriminals are already�leveraging the much-anticipated release of Apple's iPhone 5. TrendLabs engineers found spammed messages, which bore the subject, Finally. The amazing iPhone 5. Now available in black edition�and purports to come from Apple.com. It informs users that Apple's iPhone 5 in black is now available. Once users click on the link found in the email, it points them to http://{BLOCKED}ound.com/iphone5.gif.exe�leading�to the download of a malicious file.

Users are strongly�advised to take caution when clicking any link on emails even if these come from a supposedly trusted source.
