MSNBC: Password-stealing e-mails spread
Another "fraud" scam. This one sends all your information to Russian fraudsters. As my boss said, "Never ever give this kind of information out over the web." This is just another form of social engineering. Used to be they'd tried to gather this type of info over the phone. "Your account is having problems, please give us all your info." Now they are doing it via e-mail. Same tricks, just a different format.
And the same story from Computerworld.
