Warning From The FTC - A “Phish-erman’s Special”

With the financial crisis in full swing, the FTC is putting out a warning that there may be more Phishing sites spun up in an attempt to capture your financial information.

However, we believe they may also use a Security Certificate Trojan rather than a phishing attempt.

As always, avoid clicking on any links within emails from untrusted sources.

Even if you recognize the sender, if they are asking for any banking detail, always verify the email’s authenticity such as calling you bank directly.

In simplest terms, your identity depends on it.
