Sophos warns traders to be wary of pump-and-dump spammers
Experts at SophosLabs™, Sophos's global network of virus, spyware and
spam analysis centers, have protected users against a spam campaign that
is attempting to make money for criminals by inflating the stock price
of a cosmetics company.
On Wednesday 21 June, Sophos experts issued protection against a
widespread spam campaign that encouraged users to buy stock in a company
called Southern Cosmetics. The emails, which consisted of an embedded
graphic in an attempt to avoid detection by anti-spam filters, told
recipients that savvy investors would be wise to buy stock in the
company because of business deals it was making with Naomi LLC, a
cosmetics firm endorsed by country music singer Naomi Judd.
