Apparently there are a lot of people that aren’t totally honest and can’t resist clicking on something to see if they really are in trouble. It’s bad enough that lawyers have a bad reputation with the general public, but now there’s an e-mail scam that’s coming from “fake” lawyers.
US-CERT has announced another e-mail scam that appears to be coming from legitimate attorneys and their law firms claiming that a copyright lawsuit has been filed against the e-mail recipient. The message has either a malware attachment or a link to a malicious website. Either way, your computer gets infected with some nasty stuff. It tells you something about the character of the recipient if they open the attachment or follow the link.
