In the last couple of days you may have received an email that reads something like this:

Date: Fri, 3 Nov 2006 16:09:36 +0800
From: Sarah
To: benn@example.com
Subject: question about your photo

I’ve accidently found _your photo_ at a flickr and i’m very interested in it.
Can you tell me what place i can see in the background of it?

Being a Flickr user, it was the first time I’d seen a phishing attempt via Flickr, so I decided to investigate it further. The link in the email takes you to http://www.cyper.netiro.pl/flickr.html – type it in if you must visit it. The page itself is a poor imitation of a Flickr page and will attempt to download and install malware on your computer.

So, be informed. Unsolicited e-mail should always be treated with suspicion. Find out more at AusCERT.
