Hackers again tried to bamboozle Windows users with bogus e-mails purporting to contain a comprehensive update to Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, and Outlook.
The newest e-mails--a sample which TechWeb received--play off the recent news that Microsoft released its May patch, a tactic so common that scams like this appear virtually every month.
"This is the latest version of security update, the 'May 2005, Cumulative Patch' update which resolves all known security vulnerabilities affecting MS Internet Explorer, MS Outlook and MS Outlook Express," the official-looking e-mail reads.
