Pacquiao vs Cotto Fight Live Stream Leads to FAKEAV 2:21 am (UTC-7)   |    by Jessa De La Torre (Threat Response Engineer)

As Filipinos and Puerto Ricans were busy rooting for their champions in yesterday’s fight, so were cybercriminals who wished to capitalize on the match. Through SEO poisoning, users searching for a live stream of the Pacquiao vs Cotto fight were instead served a FAKEAV variant.

According to Threat Response Engineer Jasper Manuel, search results led to the download of TROJ_FAKEAV.MAN. Clicking the link displays the following image:

Users who are interested in watching Pacquaio’s upcoming fights (i.e., with Mayweather) are advised to stay away from suspicious-looking links. Trend Micro Smart Protection Network™ blocks user access to malicious URLs and detects the said FAKEAV.
