Warning: Adobe Systems being phished

Post by Wiz Feinberg »

Subject: Adobe Systems being phished

«Websense® Security LabsT has received reports of a new phishing
attack, using the brand name of Adobe Systems Incorporated. Users
receive a spoofed email that provides a link to the phishing website,
which is designed to mimic the Adobe online store. Users are given the
option to buy and download Adobe products at substantially discounted
rates. The site has links to awards hosted locally, which supposedly
prove its veracity. When checking out, the user is prompted for credit
card information.»
