7COMMENTS You can find a whole new Trojan in city,
Office Pro 2007 Activation Key, referred to as Kardphisher,
Windows 7 Enterprise 64 Bit, and it could be one of the trickiest computer scams ever made. It uses the annoying Windows Activation to make a user think that their system has been activated on another computer. It then prompts them to reactivate their PC by entering in some of their personal information,
Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate Activation Key, including their credit card number.
Here is what the “activation” process looks like with the Trojan:
If you don’t enter in the credit card details the Trojan will shutdown your computer. The creator even took it a step further by preventing you from running or switching to another application which is what makes this really nasty.
The Trojan also stresses that your credit card information is only for verification purposes and will not be charged:We will ask for you billing details,
Windows 7 Home Basic 64 Bit, but your credit card will not be charged.Do none of these scammers ever proofread? It should be “ask for your billing details,
Windows 7 Starter 64 Bit,” and they are making it even more obvious that this may be a scam by not proofreading. I’m sure most people who are infected by the Trojan won’t even think twice about proceeding witht the activation process, so try to warn friends and family about this.
Symantec has some recommendations on how to remove the Trojan for those that have been infected by it.
