Trendmicro reported: "We have recently analyzed a series of emails sent to specific users that leverage a certain prominent socio-political issue. One of these messages is about the supposed statement from the German Chancellor regarding the protests in Lhasa, Tibet. The From field indicates that it came from a key officer from the ATC or Australian Tibet Council. But of course, the email is faked and the email address was just created and used to impersonate the said ATC officer. It also includes a .DOC file that supposedly contains the relevant parts of the statement." More about this here. All the more reason to give employees Internet Security Awareness Training.
