The emails, which have the subject line "Contact of Settlements", pretend to relate to a contract. Recipients are told that if they agree to the terms of the contract they should expect "payment on Friday for the first consignment".
Attached to the emails is a password-protected ZIP file, contract_1.zip, which contains a malicious Trojan horse. Sophos is intercepting the emails as spam, and has added detection of the malware component as Troj/Agent-LNW.
I, myself sometimes feel so curious about an unsolicited contract materialising in my inbox BUT I know if I'll enter the password to decrypt the file, open the file contained within means end up infecting my PC.
This latest attempt to infect the computers of innocent internet owners echoes a series of attacks we saw late in 2008, many of which used the names of well-known companies as an extra temptation for users to open them.so please becareful!
as you see it is oneof the type of computer crime in cyberlaw and it has illegal action
Unfortunately we always have these terrible emails in our inbox and there is no way for block these emails
ReplyDeleteMost of the time I try to discriminate between emails of well-known companies and these kinds of emails but honestly it is not possible because there is no way to do it or preventing from receiving these TROJANS; anyway thank you for useful information and saying these aposematic points
ReplyDeleteThanks my dear friends you are right I hope we could find some ways to get rid of these kinds of email
