| | There's a new extortion trojan in circulation Quote: This one attempts to steal victims' money by bullying them to pay a "pre-trial settlement" to cover a "Copyright holder fine". The victim is informed that an "Antipiracy foundation scanner" has found illegal torrents from the system. If he won't pay $400 (via a credit card transaction), he might face jail time and huge fines. ICPP Copyright Foundation is Fake - F-Secure Weblog : News from the Lab |

| | Thanks, Jacee. Considering the number of software pirates who do download illegal torrents, that is a clever one. What would be ideal is if this nasty was only via torrents and people with pirated software quickly uninstalled it! (I know, dream on.) |

| | That was fast work. Good! (I hope everyone realizes I was being facetious. I really don't want to see anyone ripped off by any scam.) The Yahoo link doesn't seem to be working either. |
