[pchelpers] News:Phishers stick the boot into World Cup fans

Beware of emails bearing gifts
Robert Jaques, vnunet.com 27 Mar 2006

Security experts have warned internet users to be on their guard against 
a new phishing and spyware scam targeting 2006 Fifa World Cup enthusiasts.

The fraud is executed using bogus emails claiming to be from MasterCard 
offering free travel and tickets to the World Cup finals in Germany.

Recipients of the malicious emails are encouraged to click on a link to 
claim the prize. But doing so results in a key-logger downloading to the 
user's desktop.
