Symantec offers the following advice:
"This Trojan teaches us all a good lesson - Trust No One.
This is the slogan from the TV show The X-Files,
and very much applies when it comes to protecting your personal information.
Sometimes the creators of Trojans attempt to impersonate Microsoft,
a bank, or even a government organization.[eBay, PayPal!!!]
Whatever the warning or message says,
we must make very sure it is genuine
before giving up any personal details, financial or otherwise.
It’s far better to doubt a genuine request until proper verification is provided,
than it is to blindly place your trust in a communique
simply because it appears to have come from a trusted source."
Trojans are basically the same.
Only the scam changes.
No security software can protect,
no update can patch the one exploit
that scammers depend-human behavior!
