Medical Spam Found in Image Attachments


Another round of image spam selling medical items such as Viagra and Cialis has recently been making the rounds in users' inboxes. The image spam comes with a short greeting and salad word quotes in its body. Most of the contents of the spammed email are written on the image itself, including the prices of the medicine for sale and a short URL. Users are instructed to type in this URL onto their browsers to place orders from the bogus 'premium pharmacy online.' The URL embedded on the image is already blocked.
