Websense Security Labs and the Websense ThreatSeeker Network have detected malicious emails disguised as HSBC Notifications.  A closer look at these emails, like the one you can see below, reveals that the link provided in the emails is a compromised URL belonging to the Philippine Bureau of Immigration.



Clicking the link prompts the user to download a malicious file called “atualizar.exe”.
