We’ve got quite a few new variants of JS/Feebs recently. Previous variants tend to have pretty dull examples of social engineering tactics, but today brings a new tactic which is rather perplexing.

Here’s a few examples of subject lines:

• Biohazard in teh USA and other countries!
• Biohazard in the USA and other cuontries!
• Biohazard in the USA and ohter countries!
• The huge meteorite moves to teh Earth!
• The hgue meteorite moves to the Earth!

I figure the odd, roving spelling errors could be explained by one of three possible scenarios: They could be misspelling to try to be “more” convincing (like it’s written by a human), they could be trying to pass spam filters, or it could be they just keep stabbing in the dark at spelling correctly. Sort of an Infinite Monkey theory of social engineering.

The message bodies are where it gets really odd. Here’s the variations for the Biohazard message:

• The fatal virus promptly extends by the planet.
  The virus was killed already nearby by 3000 person in the USA!
  All people are in danger. We dno’t trust in it, btu unfortunately it is teh truth.
  Authorities while are silent to not create a panic. But we already should operate, we should rescue the children!
  Details and instructions in the attached file. You send this message to all whom know!
  Help us the God..

And now for the discussion of the meteorite:

• The huge meteorite moves to the Earth.
  Scientists have counted up - the trajectory of a meteorite passes precisely through our planet.
  All poeple are in danger. We don’t turst in it, but unfortunately it is the truth.
  Authorities while are silent to not create a panic. Btu we already should operate, we should rescue the children!

Whoa. Maybe it loses something in translation.

Suffice it to say, we should all continue getting our news about biohazards and meteorites from sources other than strange, spammy emails.
