Spoofed Trend Micro Alert Leads to Canadian Pharma Site

[Peaches]

With the underground economy still thriving, cybercriminals will surely use any method, such as Canadian Pharma spam runs, to facilitate in their information theft operations. Canadian Pharmacy sites are known to be used by scammers to sell a wide range of fake medications, usually for impotence and other serious medical conditions, at a much lower price than those sold in regular pharmacies. These sites employ various techniques to fool users into believing that their sites are legitimate and secure. For instance, when you purchase from their site, they claim to take your credit card information on a secure connection. However, this is not exactly the case.

For cybercriminals, this is another opportunity for them to earn profits and steal personal information from users. This is why pharma sites scams have also been associated with big malware campaigns, including the infamous Storm worm a couple of years back.
