Kaspersky discovers movie malware disguised as best picture nominees
#1
Quote: Analysis finds 'Joker' is the most abused movie of the year.

In an effort to better understand how cybercriminals are trying to capitalize on public interest in high-profile movies, Kaspersky researchers studied malware being shared under the guise of this year’s award-nominated films. 
They found more than 20 phishing websites and 925 malicious files that were presented as free movies, only to attack the user.  

The uncovered phishing websites and Twitter accounts gather users’ data and prompt them to carry out a variety of tasks in order to gain access to the desired film. These can vary from taking a survey and sharing personal details, to installing adware or even giving up credit card details. 
Needless to say, at the end of the process, the user does not get the content.
