The FBI is aware of a spear-phishing e-mail appearing as if it were sent from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The subject of the e-mail is “Search for Missing Children,” and a zip file containing 3 malicious files is attached. E-mail recipients should always treat links and attachments in unsolicited or unexpected e-mail with caution.
US-CERT recommends users and administrators review the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center’s announcement and refer to the US-CERT Security Tip on Avoiding Social Engineering and Phishing Attacks.
