Fake HSBC emails...


Ok, since that is not working for them, they are trying another angle...pretending to warn users about erm...themselves...

Once again, these are NOT from HSBC, they are fake. The so called hsbc link actually points to:

hXXp://michael-shelton.com/images/uk-hsbc.co.uk/www/INTEGRATION-HSBC/CAM11;jession=14/

Which is obviously fake. (would be interesting to know whether avast! blocks this...)

Another thing is, that they have 'tagged' (right word?) it as high priority, as you can see in the image (the red exclaimation mark...)

Careful guys...

Yeah...although, I think that sentence needs rephrasing:

Ok, since that is not working very well for them, they are capitalising on it, and trying another angle...pretending to warn users about erm...themselves...

Twitter-controlled botnets

A security researcher has unearthed a tool that simplifies the process of building bot armies that take their marching orders from specially created Twitter accounts.

TwitterNet Builder offers script kiddies a point-type-and-click interface that forces infected PCs to take commands from a Twitter account under the control of attackers. Bot herders can then force the zombies to carry out denial-of-service attacks or silently download and install software with the ease of their Twitter-connected smartphones.

Sites that are at February 14, 2010 are about as current as an old newspaper.
