“All AUSTRALIAN BANKS WILL BE CLOSED” taken aback to read the first sentence! In fact, yes! The same situation is of the Australian banking customers, who are recently being targeted by the latest security threat that is disguised as an online news article. The email is a link to a news story on News Ltd’s news.com.au site, but when a user gets connected to the spoof news website, a pernicious Trojan is automatically installed on his or her computer.
Following is the subject bar of the email: “News Limited Important Information’ the structure of the message is consisted with a bogus firm logo and informs customers with the warning that “all AUSTRALIAN BANKS WILL BE CLOSED” this week. The fake email specially gives the names of ANZ Bank, Commonwealth bank, WestPack (sic) Bank and then the readers are directed to get additional information through a link to the spoof news web site.
