Abstract

A new phishing attack that originated from Mexico takes advantage of the controversial news about an allegedly missing four-year-old girl, Paulette Gebara Farah, who was later found dead in her own bedroom. This attack was brought about by a Mexican botnet trying to steal banking/financial-related information from users.
