The World Cup begins today and spammers have already joined the party, releasing spam messages that target individuals searching for World Cup information. Presently, the amount of World Cup-related spam is relatively small compared to total spam amounts but it has increased, according to F-Secure.
“It’s still just a small percentage of spam overall (under 2%) but when comparing the first three days from the last six months, we see a doubling in volume and 74 times the number of hits on related keywords from January to June,” F-Secure’s Sean Sullivan writes. “As the tournament continues from June to July 11th, we expect to see more related threats. A good example? SEO poisoning.”
