New wave of phishing attacks serves malware to PCs and Macs | ZDNet.

 

Mac and PC user beware:

“The best protection available for this type of attack isn’t antivirus software; it’s a good spam filter and an effective update routine. Most of these messages were correctly flagged as spam by Microsoft Outlook, which moved them to the Junk E-mail folder and disabled all links. It also converted the HTML to plain text, making the fraudulent links obvious.”
