Threat analyst Juan Pablo Castro reports of spam announcing the declaration of World War III...The link provided points to a legitimate-looking CNN page with a video...users wishing to view this video are prompted to install an ActiveX Object...The supposed ActiveX Object is actually malware, which Trend Micro detects as TSPY_BANCOS.JN. TSPY_BANCOS.JN, like all BANCOS variant...
