I've just received an interesting phishing mail which invites me to
download a "critical update" for Outlook and Outlook Express "which
offers the highest level of security and stability".
I was immediately suspicious, because if you wanted the highest level of
security and stability you probably wouldn't choose Microsoft products.
But what really exposed the scam was the following information:
File Name: officexp-KB910721-FullFile-ENU.exe
Version: 1.4
Date Published: Tue, 4 Aug 2009 17:22:30 -0300
Language: English
File Size: 81 KB
I don't think the Microsoft Corporation has released an executable file
smaller than a megabyte since about 1985.
Yours whimsically,
Mike
