Beware of Trojan in guise of ticket confirmation

BANGALORE, INDIA: Websense Security Labs, a provider in web security solutions, today announced that its ThreatSeeker Network has discovered a scam involving the spread of email messages disguised as coming from Delta Airlines.

So far, 3,000 samples of malicious mails have been received and the number keeps increasing, said a press release.

The email messages have the subject 'Confirmation of ticket purchase at www.delta.com', and ask recipients to print a supposed "passenger itinerary receipt" attached to the message.

The attachment sent by fraudsters is actually a Trojan file which still can escape detection by some antivirus products, added the release.

Email recipients who run the attached Trojan will probably fall into the black hat hackers' trap, the release warned.
