#JeSuisCharlie: How a terror attack is now a malware attack

Organized malware proponents are using a tragic terror attack as a basis to spread malware. This time they are taking advantage of the tragic shootings in France at Charlie Hedbo and around the country. 

According to this Forbes article the malware is hidden within a picture of a newborn baby with a hospital wrist band that states Je Suis Charlie. The malware contained is a remote access toolkit that gives access to take over the machine.

These type of attacks have happened in the past; the Red Cross in the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti is a prime example.

Don't click random links folks.

As a follow up to my previous post, it seems that I was not totally off base with my distrust of the FBI and their claim stating the North Koreans were the hackers in the Sony incident. The evidence just doesn't add up.
