A Stupid E-mail

Posted By: Rick Chapman on 11/11/2009

This is the second of these E-mails I've received from "Marketwire.com."

The E-mail consists of this message:

"Please click on the attachment(s) for the full announcement. Special software may be required to open some files.
If you no longer want to receive announcements from us, please do not reply to this e-mail. Instead simply click here."

The E-mail includes four unsolicited PDF attachments with names like cc1111.pdf.

If this isn't an E-mail phishing attack, it's a great impression of one.

Marketwire.com appears to be legitimate site; a PR hub. Think I'll shoot someone a message and ask if they're actually responsible for this stupid piece.
