Beware of Fake ‘Blue Screen of Death’ pushing scareware

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

Hackers are using the infamous Windows Blue Screen of Death to con computer users into downloading and installing  fake security software (scareware).

According to a discovery by Sunbelt Software, Windows users are being shown the familiar blue screen that signifies an operating system crash with a bright red “Security Alert” notice.

The rogue security software used in this scam is called SystemSecurity. It infects Windows machines via fake codec and fake Flash Player update packages planted on malicious Web sites.
