			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spammers are using <span class='bm_keywordlink'><a href="http://www.twittertrafficstats.com">Twitter</a></span> related emails to fool unsuspecting people, the email contains malicious <span class='bm_keywordlink'><a href="http://www.trafficresearcher.com" target="_blank">software</a></span> that steals emails.  This latest threat should not have a significant impact on <span class='bm_keywordlink'><a href="http://www.twittertrafficstats.com">Twitter</a></span>&#8216;s popularity, but should be taken seriously by all <span class='bm_keywordlink'><a href="http://www.twittertrafficstats.com">Twitter</a></span> users.</p>
<p>&#8220;The observed messages appear as if they have been sent from a <span class='bm_keywordlink'><a href="http://www.twittertrafficstats.com">Twitter</a></span> account; however, unlike a legitimate <span class='bm_keywordlink'><a href="http://www.twittertrafficstats.com">Twitter</a></span> message, there is no invitation URL present in the body,&#8221; a Symantec blog post says. &#8220;Instead, the user will see an attachment that appears as a .zip file that purportedly contains an invitation card.&#8221;</p>
<p>The name of the attachment is &#8220;Invitation Card.zip&#8221; and Symantec identified it as W32.Ackantta.B@mm, a worm targeting Windows computers that was discovered in an e-card virus attack in February, according to Symantec. The worm gathers e-mail addresses from compromised PCs and spreads by copying itself to removable drives and shared folders.</p>
<p>If you recieve any type of emails like the ones mentioned here, please delete them immediately.</p>
