New computer virus targets Venezuelans after vote
By: AP, Huffington Post
A newly detected computer virus aims to steal Venezuelans' online credentials using a link that purports to reveal information about the country's recent presidential election, the digital security company Kaspersky Lab said on Friday.
The malicious software was launched after Venezuela's Oct. 7 presidential election and was spread by email, said Dmitry Bestuzhev, head of the Moscow-based company's research and analysis team in Latin America.
At least 75 Kaspersky customers came under attack by the malware, and non-customers surely did, too, he said.
