More Valentine’s malware spotted
Hoax Valentine’s messages that aim to infect your PC and turn it into a bot are circulating already.
Security firms are warning that cybercriminals are attempting to infect the PCs of innocent surfers by convincing them that they have a secret admirer.
Anyone who opens the email is putting themselves at risk of losing their own personal information, as well as allowing hackers to remotely control the PC for their own ends.
The emails have subject lines such as “Love Rose”, “Rockin’ Valentine” and “Just You” and contain a file called valentine.exe.
