Beauty and the Geek is a reality television series on CW Television Network (The CW). It has been advertised as “The Ultimate Social Experiment” and was produced by Ashton Kutcher, Jason Goldberg and Nick Santora.
“The Beauty and the Geek… is being used today as the “Ultimate Social Engineering Tactic”. This morning we began seeing a massive influx of zero day virus threat being sent via email. In all we saw at least seven different new variants of the same malware. The message that was coming in at the highest rate and certainly the most interesting of the group was a message claiming to be from the folks at the “Beauty and the Geek” show. The message claims that they are looking for contestants for the show and contains an attachment that you are instructed to open. The message attachment named [flyers.zip] contains malware identified as the Zbot Trojan.”
On the next page you can see the message that was send out. If you have received that message or a similar one, be careful.
