Deceptive emails strive to fool recipients into believing that they were caught speeding by the New York State Police, and are being charged with a traffic offense. In truth, scammers use these bogus emails to corrupt affected PCs with Troj/PDFEx-GD. A common email used in the spam campaign has a subject 'NYC Traffic Ticket [id number]'. The malicious email carries a link which takes affected PC users to a website that incorporates the Blackhole exploit kit. If the PC user enters the infected website, his/her workstation can be corrupted via Adobe Flash and PDF exploits, recognized as Troj/PDFEx-GD.
