CSIS has observed a new Facebook campaign/survey, which is flourishing right now among incautious, inquisitive Facebook users. This a case of classic, but persuasive bait:

"Katy Perry and Russel Brand Home Tape Leaked"


The campaign includes a link that takes users to a website (spaces inserted by CSIS)

http://katyper rytapehomeq.blogspot.com/?4896

The idea is to lure users into installing what appears to be DivX plug-in, but which is actually a camouflaged campaign, phishing for various bits of user information, including Facebook usernames and passwords. This is also the way it replicates.

The campaign stems from the domain (spaces inserted by CSIS):
howi ludie.com

CSIS has blocked the domain in CSIS Secure DNS to provide protection from data leakages and wasted time.
