Phishing scam targets Microsoft customers E-mail

Monday, 31 July 2006
US-based internet security firm SurfControl has warned email users to be on the lookout for an email phishing scam that appears to be a message from Microsoft. 

The email conveys that the user has won a prize from Microsoft that can be claimed by visiting the Microsoft “Resolution Centre” and filling out a small form.

When clicking on the link included in the email, the user is taken to a malicious Web site that closely resembles Microsoft’s home page. {moscomment}
