Beware bogus Better Business Bureau e-mail Trojan
Security vendor Websense is reporting the return of a bogus Better Business Bureau e-mail. The attached Word document in this release contains a Trojan that, when opened, attempts to download and install a keylogger which then uploads stolen data from the compromised PC to an IP address located in Malaysia.

In March, the Better Business Bureau issued a warning. The new message claims that a complaint has been filed against the recipient's company. Attached to the message is a Microsoft Word document (Document_for_Case.doc), supposedly containing additional details regarding the complaint.
