PDF Phishing Scam Warning from Adobe

PDF Phishing Scam Warning from Adobe

There might be an urgent need of IT Support if IT connectivity users ignore Adobe's warning. It seems that masterminds of Internet attacks have come up with yet another pishing scam that involves the IT company. Regular people that go on the Internet receive what they might think it is a regular update from Adobe, an email that tries to fool them into thinking the company is announcing a new version of PDF Reader/Writer.

Adobe says the most simple solution is to delete the message that has as a subject line "download and upgrade Adobe PDF Reader – Writer for Windows." Of course, it contains links that threaten the user's IT security and if clicked, they lead to malicious code. The company said that "e-mail messages purporting to offer a download of the Adobe Reader have been sent by entities claiming to be Adobe. Please be aware that these e-mails are phishing scams and have not been sent by Adobe or on Adobe's behalf."
