Don't get tricked by fake Microsoft update e-mails
PC World | at | by Mike
I do not know about you, but for the past couple of days my inbox has received several e-mails claiming to be from Microsoft while touting links to updates for Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express. :>) Naturally, I clicked on those links right-away and installed me some updates.
However, in all honesty, I was surprised at the level of effort that the sender went through in making this phishing e-mail look more "authentic". For example: ????? First, the message itself is formatted to look like a Tech Bulletin from Microsoft.
