E-Mail Hoax - Beware Of E-mails Threatening Internet Access
Suspension Cyber criminals are currently using the threat of Internet
access suspension to trick unsuspecting users into opening a malicious
attachment. One version of the e-mail is supposedly sent from the "ICS
Monitoring Team" of the "Internet Service Provider Consorcium"
- organizations that do not exist. Its message claims that this consorcium
(note the misspelling) conducts network wiretapping and is aware of illegal
Internet activities committed by the user. Examples of these alleged
activities include the pirating of software, movies, and music.
