Bank of America Scam

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

A social engineering scam has been detected which is about the Bank of America.

When users click the link on their emails, they will be redirected to a site which asks them to download an updated Flash player. A screen shot is included in the article at F-Secure which shows the site and the pop-up save message. The filename in the pop-up is Adobe_Player9.exe and it is 3.1 kb.

When that file is executed, it will download a trojan which steals confidential information.
