Samples of spam messages using the Super Bowl were found to spread a malicious link. Super Bowl, the biggest event of the National Football League (NFL), is naturally a target of spammers, specifically as a social engineering technique to lure users. The said emails contain the link http://{BLOCKED}3.com and simple texts with a testimonial for a supposed lucrative job, which enabled the fake sender to bring friends to the said event.  The link purportedly leads to a business venture, but users are instead forwarded to the fraudulent site http://{BLOCKED}tion.com/t007/index.php?aid=98&opt=&hid=. Trend Micro has classified this URL as a 'disease vector' and was found to be a phishing site that steals sensitive information from users. Users are advised not to click the said hyperlink.
