Verizon Wireless “Thank you for your payment” fake emails lead to exploits

A few of my users have been receiving fake “Thank you for your payment” emails from Verizon.   As you can see below the “Payment Amount” is some crazy high amount, thus prompting unsuspecting users to say “WTF!!!” and click the “Manage Your Account Online” link.

This link actually goes to : hxxp://novidadediaria.com.br/hxEXMMfE/index.html

That URL tries to execute several exploits (I tried this in my VM).

      Sorry, I’m not putting a time table on anything. I did do part 4 tonight. I’m also creating an intro. Part 5 is running as I type this. The new reviews are long and they’re going to take multiple days. I just started this over the weekend. Stay tuned.

          I will. I’m planning on reviewing everything. I’m just getting my youtube channel “upgraded” as well as the titles in my videos.

            Ah, Ok.
