PandaLabs has detected a wave of spam containing the Pirabbean.A Trojan. This junk mail tries to attract users’ attention with references to the latest episode of the Pirates of the Caribbean saga. The email includes an image that looks like promotional material for the film and claims to contain a trailer. The message subject simply says: “Pirates of the Caribbean: At world’s end”.
The mail includes two links that supposedly point to trailers. However,
if users click on them, they are really downloading Pirabbean.A.
