PCWorld has just reported that a new Trojan horse has just effected PCs in Europe big time. Experts says in every 200 e-mails messages; 1 could be harmful.
So what are these emails like? They fake themselves into breaking news alike content, offering topics such as
230 dead as storm batters Europe U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice has kicked German Chancellor
And of course they comes with attachments (else they couldn’t have hurt us) with names like Full Story.exe, Video.exe, etc. And if you download/clicked them, you’re gone. These things are Trojans, they don’t act instantly.
Read more about Trojan’s behavior in Wikipedia.
