Beware of that Greeting Card-It could be a trojan

June 14th, 2008 by Rose DesRochers · 1 Comment

Be careful before opening emailed greeting cards. If you receive a a custom greeting e-card it might not be from a friend like the e-mail subject line says.
Today I received an email that claims to be a greeting card notification from regards.com. The link in the email points to a malicious website hosting a trojan.


The email read: “You’ve just received a custom greeting card from a friend”

Hello, One of your friends has just created a custom greeting card for you at REGARDS.COM, the Internet’s most popular greeting card service.

Click here to view your eCard:

Of course the ecard, is not really from regards.com and it wasn’t sent from a friend.

Advice: Delete any e-card from someone you don’t know. If you have received an e-mail similar to this, please file a complaint at http://www.ic3.gov.

    this kind of deviousness is especially bad for senior citizens, so many are alone , and grasp at any thing that smacks of somebody saying hello to them—–it makes me ill to think how many will trustingly click to open such mail —–all one can do is warn eveyone again and again and again, do not open mail from strangers or from addresses you do not recognize.
