URLs in Spoofed Files

“ItÂ’s been discovered that embedded URLs in spoofed multimedia files (such as .MP3 and .WAV) can be used to “hijackÂ? users to malicious web sites. Web sites can be automatically opened when users click on MP3 or WAV files. A hacker can use file extension spoofing in order to trick users to open these files; for example, an .MP3 file may really be another file type, such as a .AFX file, which may contain a URL. Internet applications (browser, e-mail client, etc.) may even open such files without asking the user what to do (if the user made a decision in the past to automatically open the specific file extension).”
