Phishing attacks may hit your computer
Phishing is becoming larger than life. It's one of the latest hacker weapons to sneak into your system and do damage as thousands of high-ranking executives across the country recently discovered. It turns out company executives have been receiving email messages that appear to be official subpoenas from the U.S. District Court in San Diego with an attachment detailing the full complaint. Recipients curious enough to open the document prompted end up downloading and installing software that enables the perpetrator to steal passwords and other key data.
