Note: I'm on PC World's email list. I got the link for this today, so it is as current information as you can get regarding internet attacks. It has some good information, so I thought I should share it.

Thank you Julie, they are getting more clever all the time.

Recently, after doing some online banking, I received emails that looked genuine from the bank telling me my account was frozen and I needed to fill out a form verifying all my account numbers including credit card numbers.

They had the bank logo and all pertinent identifying information down pat and it certainly looked like it came from the bank. I'm not stupid enough, or senile enough yet to be taken in by something like this, but no doubt many are.

As they always warn us, never give personal information or account numbers on the Internet to anyone.
