Now that the IE zero day which caused so much panic over the last several days has been patched, researchers are much more free to discuss details of the attack.

Cisco's Snort IPS network shows that their customers began on April 24 with several phishing attacks.

The attack relies on getting a user to visit a web site with the malicious code and this was the purpose of the phishing emails. Cisco found these subject lines used in the attacks:

  •     Welcome to Projectmates!
  •     Refinance Report
  •     What's ahead for Senior Care M&A
  •     UPDATED GALLERY for 2014 Calendar Submissions
