Federal Reserve spam attack emerges
The message contains a fake Federal Reserve letterhead and warns users in typically broken English that a “large-scales phishing attack started and has been still lasting”.
In addition to the shoddy grammar, the messages are identifiable in their attempt to lure victims to an outside URL.
On clicking the link, the user is briefly sent to a fake Federal Reserve page which attempts to download a PDF file, supposedly containing further details on the attack. Shortly after accessing the page, the user is forwarded to a pornographic web site.
