QUOTE: We often associate Halloween with pumpkins and costumes but for cybercriminals it’s merely another avenue to exploit, steal, and trick users into giving away their personal identities. Treats are fun but we all need to be on the lookout for the sneaky and tricky ways cybercriminals slither into our computers.
Below are the TrendLabs, top 7 scariest threats that might be knocking on your door:
1. Tailor-made ZBOT spam makes its way to employees’ mailboxes

3. FAKEAV: Surrender hard-earned money for fake security
4. Expand your circle of friends but beware of KOOBFACE malware
