Websense® Security Labs™ ThreatSeeker™ Network has discovered another round of malicious BBB spam today. The spam contains a spoofed From address to look as if the message was sent by the Better Business Bureau. The message uses social engineering tactics to entice readers to follow a link in the message in order to "register new software and update contact information".
