Baiting the hook with AV

We've recently seen a phishing run against Lloyds Bank. It's an interesting tactic - we do work with some UK banks to provide products to their customers - and this might make Lloyds customers think the offer is genuine.

 


Of course, it's not. And anyone with a bank account, whether they use online banking services or not, should remember that banks are taking measures to try and keep their users safe. But sending out unsolicited email isn't one of them!
