Microsoft Outlook users targeted in phishing attempt

Trend Micro is warning about a phishing attempt that targets users of Microsoft Outlook.

The phishing e-mail arrives in Outlook e-mail inboxes and looks like it comes from Microsoft. It prompts recipients to reconfigure their Outlook by clicking on a link that leads to a Web site that asks for account name and password, as well as mail server information, according to the TrendLabs Malware Blog.

By getting the mail server information, the phishers would get total access to the Outlook user's account and be able to read emails and use it to spam others, TrendLabs said.

This is a screenshot of the e-mail being circulated in the phishing attempt targeting Microsoft Outlook users.
