Another special day, another spam campaign.
If you’ve received an e-mail in Russian advertising several online promotions related to International Women’s Day, you may have been the target of a spam campaign from Russia.
This particular campaign entices targets with attractive fake offers for great gifts for Valentine’s and International Women’s Day, according to a recent alert put out by security firm Symantec.
Odd phone numbers are also provided for ordering gift certificates. The spam message can be identified by the subject line “Лучший подарок на 14 февраля и 8 марта” which translates to “Best gift for 14 Feb. and 8 March”.
