There’s been a flood of emails around the net today pretending to be from MSNBC. According to MXlab, the “Subject starts with msnbc.com – BREAKING NEWS and can contain the following: ‘Google launches free music downloads in China’, ‘Plane crashes into prep school, hundreds of kids killed’, ‘Please give your opinions for change’, ‘US Dollar hits 6-year high, further gains expected'” and more. The URL does appear to be legit but the site it leads you to is not. Upon arrival you’ll be asked to download a spoof adobe flash update that is, in reality, a trojan horse.
