Outlook Update - Beware

Postby Paully_44 » June 23rd, 2009, 5:29 am

I know, buy a mac..... 8)
but for the majority of users who are on PC, there is a tricky new Outlook "update" that is not so legit.

Beware of a tricky Micro$oft Outlook "update"
According to computer security company Trend Micro, this tricky new spam e-mail was spotted during the weekend. The e-mail looks every bit like an e-mail about a Micro$oft bug and security fix. And all the links are legitimate - except for one.


From Trend Micro
the URL leads to the download of a file (detected as TROJ_ZBOT.BTS) that on its execution it accesses a website to download a .bin file with information referring to where the Trojan can download an updated copy of itself, and where to send stolen data. The list also contains compromised websites targeted for stealing information. Our engineers confirm that the list was containing several names of banking institutions, among other social networking targets like Facebook and MySpace, and media sites YouTube and Flickr.



just remember, MS doesnt spam people telling them of Security hotfixes
Let the wild rumpus start!

I know what a Mac is but what is a Honda?
There never was a horse that couldn't be rode and there never was a cowboy that couldn't be throwed.

think about it this way.
Mac is to PC
as Honda is to Harley Davidson. :)
Thanks, Brent "RamboPreacher" Hoefling
