Laugh, I nearly wet myself. HM Revenue & Customs refund for ÂŁ1400.
Got a probable phishing/malware social engineering email, detected as spam by the simplest of filters in my MailWasher Pro anti-spam. Great that the UK HM Revenue & Customs would be sending their email from the Netherlands ;D
My filter is Not to me, couldnât be more basic if the email isnât directed sent to one of my email addresses, it gets flagged (image1).
I really canât understand how people can get conned by these types of thing as they are so easy to spot. When do you get informed of a tax refund when it is to To: undisclosed-recipients:;. Email headers are an absolute joke (image2). And finally the obligatory claim refund directing you to the crooks, image3).
Iâm going to let it through to see what avast makes of it ;D
EDIT, no alert by avast as it appears there is only the link (social engineering) to the Russian domain, where you are likely to get a nasty surprise (which hopefully the dumb would be protected by the network or web shields).

Well another day and a different SQL injection attack, not much difference from the last big one. There are many pro-active measures that can be followed as are mentioned in the 2nd article. Firefox with NoScript for the injected script tag is another measure.
Not to mention avast was all over the last SQL injection incident like a rash, with many people reporting sites being alerted on by avast when they were reputable/clean (NOT). So I guess we will have the same rash of hits in the viruses and worms forum claiming FPs.
