It’s true that James Cameron’s movies have been huge investments (Avatar cost a reported $300 million) – but you should avoid email invitations to see the amazing graphics in his new movie for 2 reasons:
1) Aside from two Avatar sequels there is no new movie yet – just a name (Myth) as well as reports that it will be big and costly
2) The link in these emails leads to malware scripts on compromised websites.
The destination sites contain the same malware used in the Pizza malware attack of last week. The same malware scripts were also used in an outbreak yesterday based on phony speeding fines. A similar speeding fine theme was used in large email malware outbreaks in October.
