Web Postcards Hide Trojan Horse Programs
PCWorld.com - Web Postcards Hide Trojan Horse Programs
The popularity of web postcards or e-cards has generated a new virus threat as criminals send emails announcing that a user has received an e-card, but when the user goes to view the e-card, they get attacked by a computer virus. So, it would seem that just as with any suspicious e-mail, it is advisable to e-mail the sender first to confirm that an e-card has been sent before attempting to open the e-card and be sure to type in the web address rather than simply clicking on the link in the e-mail.
