The fraudsters are constantly coming up with innovative ways to deceive innocent users of the Internet. Symantec recently observed an increase in phishing attacks facilitated by spam e-mail messages that are targeted towards a popular e-mail client application. The spam message requests the intended victims to re-configure the e-mail client application by clicking on the link provided in the e-mail. The phishing spam messages previously in circulation had a malicious file attached as a setup for the bogus update.
