WARNING: New worm hacks credit card details

The latest variant of the computer worm Mimail contains a new trick to hack credit card details - a fake security program that in fact emails the details off to the virus's creators. The worm is aimed at users of Paypal, a popular method of internet payment among online shoppers. Infected emails carry the subject line "YOUR PAYPAL.COM ACCOUNT EXPIRES" and pose as a security update. The email threatens to close the recipient's account if they do not obey the update instructions it gives. The email asks them to click on an executable file called www.paypal.com.scr. This brings up a dialogue box, complete with PayPal logo, requesting their credit card number, PIN, expiry date and security code. Any details entered are then sent to the virus writer. The virus has been seen in the UK, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand and is spreading.

I got this in my e-mail last week on yahoo....looked like the real thing for sure ..i can see why alot of people would fall for it.
A few months ago i got a similar thing saying it was from yahoo and i needed to update my acct or they would close it.
Sad that all the things in the world to worry bout we got to deal with this also.
