Be on the lookout – Another “scam” targeted at webmasters to get FTP info!!!
What’s better for a virus writer than infecting a machine that they can use as a bot? Simple, compromising a website that they can use to spread their malware to every users’ PC that visits a site.
Ran across an article at http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2009/12/phishers_angling_for_web_site.html that talks about a new scam/phishing scheme targeting webmasters in an effort to gain FTP access to their site. BE WARY OF ANY EMAIL THAT ASKS YOU TO VISIT A WEBPAGE IN ORDER TO CONFIRM YOUR CONTROL PANEL/FTP INFORMATION!!!
