New Phishing Scam Cloaked As Security Update, Warns Security Methods Inc



FAIRFAX, VA Jan 29, 2005 - Security Methods Inc. is warning customers to 
beware of bogus "Microsoft Security Bulletins" that prompt recipients to 
download software with the potential to disable antivirus and similar 
protection controls. "The so-called fixes actually install spyware or 
remote-control software," said Carson Sweet, the Virginia-based firm's 
Principal Director. "These fraudulent e-mails are using known Trojan horses, 
but we're publishing special customer advisories because they're 
particularly well-crafted pieces of social engineering."
