Historical OSINT - A Diversified Portfolio of Fake Security Software Spotted in the Wild

It's 2010 and I've recently stumbled upon yet another malicious and fraudulent domain portfolio serving a variety of fake security software also known as scareware potentially exposing hundreds of thousands of users to a variety of fake security software with the cybercriminals behind the campaign potentially earning fraudulent revenue largely relying on the utilization of an affiliate-network based type of revenue-sharing scheme.
