Title: Dubious email about Adobe Acrobat Reader upgrade
Post by: Frog on May 31, 2011, 04:14:33 PM

Most know not to be taken in by this kind of possible threat, but if even one is saved with this, I feel validated. lol!

Seriously, Adobe Reader will usually give you notices, often annoying, about updates. "Upgrades" often come with a cost, and I hope that the cost of clicking this link is not devastating.

Adobe has apparently a similar incident in the recent  past (http://blogs.adobe.com/psirt/2010/09/alert-adobe-reader-upgrade-email-spamphishing-scam.html)
