A new MS patch released, or not….

It looks like there’s a nasty email going around the net, with the purpose of telling people there is a new Microsoft Patch available. But there isn’t a new one…. The spammers are using the fact that MS Windows has got a lot of vulnerabilities in the past to tell people that another one is found and a patch is available. When people click the link in the email it does NOT bring them to the proposed url (http://www.microsoft.com/patches-win-logon-critical/winlogon_patchV1.12.exe) but it brings them to a redcallao.com subdir, which has a bogus winlogon_patchV1.12.exe-file. Only a few virusscanners are detecting this thing now (ISC reports only 8 of them) so you be warned!
