New Danger from Epsilon Security Breach
As a follow up to the posts from last week, the cybercriminals who stole data from the Epsilon database have now erected a fake Epsilon website in order to get your personal information and steal your money/identity.
The fake site looks real. "With the façade of legitimacy, the website claims to have an “update” from Epsilon — in the form of a downloadable file called “Epsilon Secure Connect Tool” — that will tell you if your personal information was stolen", according to MSNBC reporter Matt Liebowitz.
The only problem is that if you click the link to download the file, a Trojan Horse will be installed on your computer. From that point on, your information belongs to them - the bad guys!
Please be careful, and pay attention!
