Fake Microsoft update site traced to Australia
A mass email being circulated by hackers purporting to be a Microsoft Windows update alert directs computer users to a fake website where a Trojan virus is installed, security experts have said.
The security firm Websense said it began receiving reports this week of the email claiming to be from Microsoft, coincidentally after the software giant announced it was making security updates.
