Spyware, viruses, & security : Is this a phishing attack?
Is this a phishing attack?
by seymor1 - 1/5/08 9:31 AMI am the computer guy (not really an expert) / co owner of a small business. Our employees work out of their homes with company supplied laptops and printer/fax machines. I am concerned about the following fax some of our employees received:
"In the event that your shortcut to terminal service
does not work, use the following method:
Click on START at the bottom left of your monitor
Click on ALL PROGRAMS
Slide over and up and click on ACCESSORIES
Slide over and click on REMOTER DESKTOP
CONNECTION
Type the following number including period into the
box
198.70.156.88
Click on the CONNECT button and sign in as usual.
Thanks
Julia Davis"
We do not use remote desktop connection. Is this some type of phishing or other attempt to invade our computers?
Sure looks like it to me. If you don't know

who faxed it to you. I would file it in the circular file just like deleting spam from the computer.
I agree with Rod.

Ignore the fax message. Notify all employees in your organization to NOT to follow the instruction in the fax message.
I hope your fax / phone machine can block the # of the sender.
