WorldPay CARD transaction Confirmation

Posted on April 24, 2009

This is a fake email message pretending to be from WorldPay relating to a payment to “Academic Resources Center Inc”.

There’s an attached ZIP file, The ZIP contains an EXE designed to look like a DOC.. but oddly with an icon that looks like Excel. Of course, this is actually a nasty trojan rather than a real document.

This is one good reason why you should not hide extensions for known file types on your PC – the icon on the left looks like it has the DOC extension, but only because the real EXE extension can been hidden and is revealed on the right.
