EURO 2012 LIVE: Czech Rep. 0 Portugal 1
WARSAW, Poland (AP) – In the first quarterfinal at Euro 2012, Portugal beat the Czech Republic 1-0.

As you may imagine, the site itself – carettypeab(dot)net – shows up alongside various diet / medicine / pharma pill neighbours, and has a less than wonderful WOT score.
Livestreams and match reports are all the rage right now, so make sure emails arriving in your mailbox are related to feeds, websites and services you subscribe to – in addition to spam such as the above, there are PDFs in circulation asking for personal information and it’s not a stretch to think we’ll be seeing a lot of Euro Malware before the tournament is done.
