A variation on the many phishing emails we see regularly, just taking advantage of two public events, the celebrity photos and the release of the new phone.

Maybe a reminder to staff as well as friends and family to ignore emails that say "click here"

Happy buying a phone day or if not phonically inclined, happy talk like a pirate day, or just plain enjoy your Friday.

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
