Riding on the ongoing global economic recession, Waledac updates its spam messages with email subjects related to earning a fortune through Google cash.

As of this writing, the hyperlink found in the email body redirects to an advertising link which currently returns a redirect loop error in Firefox web browser.

Another current event seen leveraged on by this wave of Waledac spam runs is the swine flu outbreak, as spammed messages bear subjects that seem related to a vaccine for swine flu.

The given link however only leads to the all too familiar Canadian pharmacy site that offers sexual enhancement drugs.
