Since some days ago, we have been detecting some news related to BBB8 (Big Brother Brasil 
that is being used as a social engineering technique in order to distribute malware.
Several weeks ago, the image of Giselle, one of the paticipants of this reality show, was used to distribute malware through the Orkut social network by enticing users to watch a YouTube video of her. When the user followed the link to the video, a message was displayed, notifying that a codec must be installed to view the video. Of course, this codec is in fact the Trojan detected as Orkut.AT.
The last example we have seen regarding BBB8 is an email inviting users to view a video of some erotic scenes of Taty and Marcos, who are contestants of this program as well. However, if any of the links included in the email is followed, the malicious code detected as Trj/Dadobra.AOC will be installed in the computer. It is designed to download malware oriented to steal access data to certain banking entities.
These are the BBB8 participants:
Who will be the following nominated to be the bait to distribute malware??? You decide. J
