The AppRiver team dsicovered an increase in phishing scams containing the Zortob Trojan. The new surge uses an existing successful scam, which warns the victim that they've been ordered to appear in court. The scam is a textbook phishing & social engineering trick. Scare the potential victim with severe consequences if they don't immediately do what is required. In this Scam Of The Week, it's a notice to appear in court, with dire threats if the person fails to show up. The idea is to have the person open the attached "summons" to find out what's going on. It would not hurt to remind your users one more time this scam is doing the rounds!
