- The Inquirer (UK), Tuesday, May 19, 2015 11:36 AM
A British Oil Company called Black Gold was hacked by a spam email, but the malicious spam didn't even have any malware. An employee at the company clicked on the spam email but security firm Panda's security software was installed on the network and triggered an alarm to help lock out prevent an attack. The security firm noted the unusual spam and nicknamed it the "Phantom Menace" since it lacked malware in trying to steal personal data.
