Zeus Spam Exploiting .LNK Zero Day
Wiretapp has reported the discovery of malicious email that tries to take advantage of the .LNK exploit news by claiming to be a Microsoft security patch for the vulnerability. It’s not a very clever trick and the email is so poorly worded, it’s hopeful that few would fall for the ruse. Those that do won’t be getting a Microsoft security patch as the email alleges; instead they’ll be infecting their systems with a variant of the Zeus trojan.
