tg1911 Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Sharing as an FYI ... Please never apply security updates by email as it's likely to be virus infected. All vendors require downloads from their website to ensure safety and never distribute patches by email.Fake Redhat Security Advisory Circulatinghttp://www.redhat.com/security/http://isc.sans.org//diary.php?date=2004-10-2423rd October 2004 -- Red Hat has been made aware that emails are circulating that pretend to come from the Red Hat Security Team. These emails tell users to download and run an update from a users home directory. This fake update appears to contain malicious code. Official messages from the Red Hat security team are never sent unsolicited, are always sent from the address [email protected], and are digitally signed by GPG. All official updates for Red Hat products are digitally signed and should not be installed unless they are correctly signed and the signature is verified. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
