Following the revelation (pun intended) that the rapture has been unavoidably delayed, David Harley assuring customers that ESET--or at least the less devout members of ESET that remain if the rapture does come--will maintain normal operations and keep an eye out for any potential threat--real or apocalyptic.

Harley explains, "We'll certainly continue to look out for the poisoned SEO (search engine optimization) that usually attaches itself to news-friendly (even sensational..) items like this, and the fake security software towards which it generally tries to lure its victims."

It's a good thing that ESET, and other security vendors, will be vigilant, and you should be as well. Let's face it, the rapture itself may be a long shot, but spam and phishing attacks that prey on the intense interest in all things rapture and apocalypse are a virtual certainty.

Hopefully users are more aware now than in years past that to lure victims, but it is still worth putting the reminder out there when a major event occurs. Just as with the natural disasters in Japan, or the , you can expect to see malicious emails, file attachments, links, social networking status updates, and more related to the rapture and the apocalypse.

What should you do? Well, the simple answer is to just delete and ignore them all. If there is breaking news, go to a trusted source to get it rather than opening a file attachment or clicking on a link in an email.
