There is a new alert circulating the security industry; a new wave of malware may hit an all-time one day high. Obama malware. As a quick overview, the malware campaign began with an email touting the Obama win, and directing users to a doctored election results page. The page prompts the user to download what appears to be Adobe Flash software to view an “amazing speech.” However, in reality, it infects the user’s computer with a malicious Trojan horse that can be remotely controlled by hackers, leaving it wide open for other malware/spyware.
