Atenção a isto: Phishing twist relies on bogus blogs: A new form of phishing is taking shape and riding on the growing popularity of blogs, security company Websense said Tuesday.
Malicious virus writers are attempting to lure people to malicious blogs using enticing e-mails and instant messages, according to a new report from Websense. Once a person arrives at the blog, which can be posted on a legitimate host site, the victim's computer becomes infected with software designed to steal sensitive information, such as passwords and bank account information.
