Worm:Win32/Cridex.E

Worm:Win32/Cridex.E is a worm that proliferates via a unsolicited email allegedly sent by US Airways. The spam US Airways email declares to be a confirmation of online-registration and fools PC users into following infectious web-links.

The victim is required by the fake email message to print out his/her boarding pass followed with heading towards the gate. The bogus US Airways carries web-links that connect with websites hosting BlackHole the dangerous attack toolkit that picks security flaws within applications run by the user of the compromised PC, so that Worm:Win32/Cridex.E can be installed on the workstation. The fraudulent email has numerous spelling mistakes, which shows that the it is falsified.
