OK, I can’t help myself. And windoze users make fun of the 5% of us that use the Mac and its great OSX.
This from SurfControl.
SurfControl (LSE: SRF), a leading provider of global on-demand, network and endpoint IT security solutions, is currently tracking a malicious Trojan Downloader concealed in a spoofed e-mail message claiming to be from Microsoft. The e-mail appears to come from support@microsoft.com, and offers recipients a link to download Release Candidate 1 of Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.
When users click on the link provided in the spoofed e-mail, a Web site launches that looks very similar to a legitimate Microsoft page. However, the Web site is fraudulent and installs a Trojan via a browser exploit targeted at Internet Explorer and effectively creates a backdoor on the infected system.
Do I need to say it again. Please take a moment and compare how many times you read or hear something like this about Microsoft and Windows. And than take a moment to see how many times you hear about this with the Mac OSX.
