›A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by
›Microsoft as the most destructive ever. This virus was discovered
›yesterday afternoon by McAfee and no vaccine has yet been developed.
›
›This virus simply destroys Sector Zero from the hard disk, where vital
information for its functioning are stored. This virus acts in the
following
manner:It sends itself automatically to all contacts on your list with
the
title:›«A Card for You». As soon as the supposed virtual card is opened
the
computer freezes so that the user has to reboot. When the ctrl+alt+del
keys
or the reset button are pressed, the virus destroys Sector Zero, thus
permanently destroying the hard disk. Yesterday in just a few hours
this
virus caused panic in New York,according to news broadcast by CNN.
This alert was received by an employee of Microsoft itself. So don’t
open any mails with subject: «A Virtual Card for You.» As soon as you
get the mail, delete it!! Even if you know the sender !!!

Please pass this mail to all of your friends. Forward this to everyone
In your address book. I’m sure most people, like myself, would rather
receive this notice 25 times than not at all!sm150

Это скорее всего очередной «Hoax» - письмо которое паразитирует в сети и призывает юзеров рассылать его друзьям.

На самом деле если человек образован по теме безопасности в сети, то должен и сам ориентироваться, а если нет, то не уберечь уже

How phishing works

One way to hook a fish is to use a lure so realistic that the fish thinks it’s food. Phishing on the Web works the same way. Thieves send an e-mail or instant message that masquerades--right down to the sender’s e-mail address--as a message from a reputable company such as Citibank, eBay or MSN. If you take the bait, you put money--and even your identity--at risk.

The message capitalizes on your trust of a respected brand by enticing you to click a link. Doing so takes you to an equally convincing (and equally fake) Web page or pop-up window that’s been set up to imitate the legitimate business. Once there, you’re asked to divulge sensitive personal information such as your Social Security number, a bank account or credit card number, or a validation code, password or personal identification number (PIN).

The scams are disarming and alarming in their ingenuity. Thousands of people received e-mail messages pretending to be from:

ch8729; Their «bank» requesting verification of an $829.49 charge for a hotel in New Delhi, an imitation so meticulous that it included bank logos as well as promises to safeguard privacy. Readers had only to click «STOP THIS PAYMENT» to go to an equally convincing page where they would reveal account information needed to «deny payment.»

ch8729; Their «cell phone company» saying that a charge to their credit card on file was declined. The message included this clincher: «Your account could be suspended unless you click this link to update your credit card information immediately.»

ch8729; «MSN» addressed to «Darling MSN services client» informing them that their MSN service would be «deactivated» if they didn’t confirm their identity at once by clicking the link provided.

The forged sites are so insidious that in 2003 they successfully tricked almost 2 million people into revealing confidential information, putting their financial status and credit rating at risk.
