Malware's Newest Threat: Fake URLs

Joshua Gliddon, Computerworld Australia

The fake domains, which have no connection to the legitimate websites, are designed to trick users into entering sensitive information, such as passwords, bank account details and PIN numbers, or into downloading malicious code."
