Comerica customers are phishing prey
A new e-mailed phishing attempt is being made in the name of Comerica Bank.
Unlike a lot of phishing efforts — ruses designed to capture personal financial data — this one uses a trojan virus that the recipient unwittingly installs after being convinced they need to download a security certificate to continue online access to their account.
It’s a highly sophisticated fraud that uses two authentic-looking layered Web pages. Details can be found here on the F-Secure Web site.
If you’re a Comerica customer and get a request to download a security certificate, just call the bank to verify the authenticity of the request.
