If you are very interested to know about the victory of Barack Obama in the US presidential elections or any other information about Barack Obama on the internet then you could be the easy target for spams, Trojans and viruses. Don’t get surprised, it isn’t personally related to US president but the attackers and the hackers are exploiting the people’s curiosity about the election result. You must not trust any link which you think can open a video or give information you need about the election results as they may redirect you to the malicious website downloading Trojans and rootkit to your PC, and may steal some vital information from your system. Recently when users were trying to open a video link to listen to the Obama’s acceptance speech, Trojan got installed to their system via malicious website. According to some websites hackers also infected and stole information from a renowned Travel Website in similar fashion. The Trojan file’s name was BarackObama.exe. Earlier this year some ticks such as a survey on the election etc were used to spread the virus.

So do not trust on any anonymous links or video. View the result and reviews on trusted and known websites, such as news channel websites. Do not give your credits card details at any website which promises to offer you the free gift. It could be phishing website i.e. fake website simulating the authenticated websites like PayPal etc. Nothing is free in this internet world my dear and you need to believe this. Phishing Websites may use the name of good brands and reputed names like CNN, Time Magazine etc. So beware and stay safe.
