Koobface Campaign Using Christmas Theme

December is knocking on the door and Christmas is becoming closer and closer. Websense warns about Koobface malware campaign that is using Christmas theme to spread bad stuff.

The Koobface Web site offers a video posted by 'SantA'. The usual ruse of requiring a codec to watch the video is used, to encourage the user to install and run a file called setup.exe (SHA1:a2046fc88ab82abec89e150b915ab4b332af924a). This file is currently detected by 16 out of 41 antivirus products according to VirusTotal.

Corresponding threat alert with sample screenshots can be read here.
