I.T. security Latest News about Security company, Sophos, has issued a
warning about a fake Microsoft security update website which is being
used to deliver a Trojan horse.
The company said that its spam labs have intercepted an e-mail campaign
initiated by hackers that attempts to get computer users to log on to a
site that pretends to be the official Microsoft site for security
patches.
When users try to download patches from the site, however, their
computers are infected with the DSNX-05 Trojan horse, which allows
hackers to remotely control the infected computer.
The e-mails from the hackers come from "Windows Update" and include
subject lines such as 'Update your windows machine,' 'Urgent Windows
Update' and 'Important Windows Update.'
A spokesperson for Sophos said that the scheme is targeted to take
advantage of people worried about Windows security, and users must be
careful and ensure they are going to an official site when downloading
security updates.
