3/17: Malicious Spam Coincides With NCAA's March Madness Basketball Tournament

Websense Security Labs is reporting the discovery of a massive malicious comment spam campaign brewing in the blogosphere, made to coincide with the NCAA's "March Madness" basketball tournament.

Clicking on the URLs in the blog comments associated with this spam campaign takes users to a malicious Web site masquerading as a fake anti-virus scanner, or a Web site that serves up a fake video codec download.

Websense recommends that NCAA basketball fans be cautious when clicking on March Madness related hyperlinks.
