Details of around 750 Australian banking customers may have been compromised after a trojan e-mail -- claiming the prime minister has suffered a heart attack -- was unleashed.
A Hotmail user logged into their account this week to find that scammers had deleted all their e-mails except for one, which was from a hacker demanding cash in exchange for restoring the lost information, according to Websense.
A seemingly innocent e-mail from Citibank Australia introducing a new online banking process has been mistaken for a phishing attack.
In a simple twist of tactics, spammers are sending large amounts of unsolicited e-mail that has been date stamped one month in the future -- in order to guarantee their messages remain at the top of the recipients' inbox.
Phishers have launched an attack on customers of the National Australia Bank (NAB). The phishing e-mail attempts to direct victims to a section of the official Sarajevo Airport Web site, which was most likely hacked specifically for the purpose.
