According to Panda Software, the DigiKeyGen Trojan hit a weak point in user psychology by seducing them with passwords (supposedly) to access many paid xxx websites. But when you click on an attachment, a spyware program and an anti-spyware application also automatically installs on the computer without the user knowing.

DigiKeyGen will then warn users that their computer is infected with spyware, and that the victim can only clean the system with the accompanying anti-spyware software for $ 50.

" You must always be careful with attractive offers, not for, but without asking anything in return, " said Luis Corrons, director of Panda Software. Luis also emphasized that this hacker technique is absolutely nothing new.

" Cybercriminals often use very traditional, very familiar phishing tricks, but users are still tricked. Mostly because they are subjective and do not know that the risk is stalking themselves after every act like harmless, like downloading a small program or visiting a website ".

This morning, security vendors also warned users about a Trojan horse sent from Microsoft to steal user passwords.

The Trojan says that Microsoft has detected a security vulnerability and instructed recipients to download the patch. But the link provided leads the victim to a ghost website and the Trojan will automatically install it here.
