It seems that hackers and malware authors are using new techniques to infect
your home or office PC, as veteran IT security vendor Sophos has spotted a rash
of fake Amazon `shipping email updates' over the weekend.
The firm says that hackers seem to be trying to trick users into infecting
their computer with malware, using emails that claim to come from
order-update@amazon.com.
Unlike regular emails from the dot com giant, Sophos reports that these
messages have a malicious malware file attached designed to run a trojan horse
on your PC.
