As the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic games draws near our favourite websites are joining the party and bringing their Olympian offerings online.
In the coming weeks the attention of the world will be focused on China. While the games have not been without controversy the Chinese people are doing everything possible to make the world feel welcome. The long running issues of freedom of information will rumble on but one blogger at least is noticing a difference saying “I am now in Shanghai enjoying the internet freedom. Awesome” and “Now I have a reason to support the Beijing Olympic Games”.A few words of warning are being issued however. InternetNews warns “Spammers and cybercriminals are fanning the flames of the Beijing 2008 Olympics frenzy in a bid to get a cut of the take. And enterprises need to act now to avoid getting hammered.
The latest attack saw 57 e-mails containing press release and media information that appear to be from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) hitting 19 domains, according to MessageLabs, which provides managed secure electronic communications services.
These e-mails have an Adobe Acrobat PDF attachment which kicks off a malicious executable program when opened. The original e-mails were sent from international.olympic@gmail.com and international.olympic2008@gmail.com, according to MessageLabs.”
