Twilight Fans Attacked by Scareware Pushers

New Moon-related search results poisoned

Security researchers warn that an on-going black hat search engine optimization (BHSEO) campaign is poisoning the search results for Twilight's newly released sequel called New Moon. The rogue websites have the purpose of distributing fake antivirus software, also known as scareware or rogueware.

Twilight is a romantic vampire movie based on Stephenie Meyer’s novel with the same name. It was released in 2008 and enjoyed economic success with ticket sales being estimated at over $380 million worldwide.

The movie's sequel, entitled "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," is based on Stephenie Meyer’s second book in the series and is scheduled to be released today. Understandably, this event has attracted a great interest from Twilight fans who are feverishly searching the Internet for information about tickets, show times, reviews and so on.
