Websites are taking advantage of the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight 370 (MH370) to profit from the tragedy, writes Michael Sutton, VP of security research at Zscaler. He writes: “Unsurprisingly, it was all too easy to find examples of this as it is almost a given that scammers will attempt to profit from any breaking news story, especially those where the public is desperate for the latest tidbit of news – regardless of where it may be coming from.
“Unfortunate that anyone would seek to profit from a tragedy, but unfortunately, this has now become the norm.”
