Bank of America Spam

Bank of America Spam

A social engineering scam has been detected which is about the Bank of America.
When users click the link on their emails, they will be redirected to a site which asks them to download an updated Flash player. A screen shot is included in the article at F-Secure which shows the site and the pop-up save message. The filename in the pop-up is Adobe_Player9.exe and it is 3.1 kb.
When that file is executed, it will download a trojan which steals confidential information.
