Major fraudulent e-mail campaign launched by scammers

We have learned that criminals have launched a major e-mail campaign to deploy the infamous ZeuS Trojan e-mail, which will send spam messages disguised as fraud alerts from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Twitter account hijack warnings, or salacious Youtube.com videos.

The fraudulent IRS e-mail uses the verbiage "Notice of Underreported Income" as the Subject Line and encourages the recipient to click a hyperlink to review their tax statement. All of the latest e-mails use a variety of URL shortening services.

To help protect against fraudulent activity, we continue to strongly recommend that you review Internet security procedures including, but not limited to:

- Ensure that up-to-date antivirus, antispam and antispyware programs are being used on all of your Internet-connected personal computers.

- Educate yourself on the prevention of keylogger, spyware, and phishing attempts. A great place to start is with the interactive educational information on our website, which includes security topics such as Identity Theft Prevention for corporate clients and consumers.
