Phishers stick the boot into World Cup fans
Beware of emails bearing gifts

Security experts have warned internet users to be on their guard against a
new phishing and
spyware
scam targeting 2006
Fifa World Cup enthusiasts.
The fraud is executed using bogus emails claiming to be from
MasterCard
offering free travel and tickets to the World Cup finals in Germany.
Recipients of the malicious emails are encouraged to click on a link to claim
the prize. But doing so results in a key-logger downloading to the user's
desktop.
When the infected user accesses a variety of legitimate online banking sites,
the key-logger mimics the website and captures personal banking information.
The scam has been detected targeting the following banking websites:
bradesco.com.br, itau.com.br, unibanco.com.br, bancoreal.com.br, caixa.gov.br
and caixa.com.br, according to security firm
SurfControl.
