But there's also a twist to the malware. It's not your typical phishing attack...
From SlashGear:
"What's most interesting about this scam, is that it doesn't use phishing like similar tricks, where scammers have you log into a fake website in order to claim your "prize." This one actually bypasses that altogether and installs malware directly on your computer to obtain personal information and such."
All the user has to do to be tricked is...very little.
From MacRumors:
Specifically, when the user clicks on a hyperlink within the email or opens an attachment, a malicious Java-based exploit installs itself onto the computer."
Webroot users can breathe a sigh of relief, however. SecureAnywhere proactively protects against these kinds of threats.
