In the past, we have seen spammers use election content in their spam campaigns. So, it comes as no surprise to see spam messages with a catchy subject relating to an upcoming political event. We have observed spammers sending out messages instructing recipients on how to “make money fast” with a subject line referring to the upcoming Lower House election in Japan, which will be held on Aug 30, 2009. A message guides users to a website where it is said that they can obtain free information on how to make money fast with summer horse racing. However, after a recipient enters their email address for registration they will not receive profitable information but instead a message that has a link for a definitive registration to provide personal information. It is unknown whether the recipients will receive free information after providing their personal data. Although there is no correlation between an election and summer horse racing, spammers lure people to their websites by inserting current news topics as subject lines. While the subject line does not make sense at all, it increases the chances of an unsuspecting recipient opening the message and possibly clicking a URL contained in the body of the message. Because a light voter turnout is currently one of the concerns in Japan, will this subject line with upcoming election content remind people to vote? The answer is a resounding "no," since Symantec is currently blocking these messages. Sample Message: Subject: 衆議院解散！！お金が飛び交うこの選挙期間に『ズバリ、●●馬券を教えます！！』 Translation: Dissolution of the House of Representatives!! We will teach you how to choose a perfect betting ticket. Especially when a fund is in need during this election period. Note: Thanks to Esther Liu for contributed content.
