With regard to: http://www.vernology-south.com/blog/40-blog/102-latest-security-reports-from-microsoft-a-mcafee We've been on the receiving end of just these types of Phish'ing tactics. Email Example: Subject: Facebook Password Reset Confirmation _____________________________________ Subject: new Facebook account agreement _____________________________________ It's important to note that most membership sites websites will NEVER send you attachments and never a document containing some illusive password or .exe (executable). This is an infected email and should be deleted if received. Just as a side note, we found it particularly comical starting such an email with "Hey"; not going to happen especially from Facebook. Rule: Unexpected or Unknown attachment = deletion should it get through the virus protection system. |
