Malware poses as FTC complaint
The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has become the latest government agency to be used as a front for e-mail attacks.
Email security provider MX Logic said that it had found multiple instances of fraudulent emails claiming to be from an email for the government organization.
The messages notify users that they have filed a complaint with the agency and included a document with a copy of the alleged complaint. Users who open the document are infected with a keylogger that can be used to steal login information and other confidential data.
