Newly found Vulnerabilities 02/22/08:
Lunar Eclipse Email Attack
We are aware of an email attack circulating that is related to
the recent lunar eclipse. The email contains a message indicating that
there is a video of the lunar eclipse available and instructs users to
follow a link to download the video. If a user clicks on this link, an
executable file will be downloaded that contains a Trojan horse program. This
Trojan horse program may allow an attacker to take control of an affected
system.
We encourage users to take the following preventative measures to reduce the
security risks:
Install
anti-virus software and keep virus signatures up-to-date.
Do
not follow unsolicited links.
