Malicious Web Site / Malicious Code: Skype Toolbar for Outlook Scam

Websense Security Labs? ThreatSeeker? Network has discovered a new wave of email attacks targeting the Skype Email Toolbar this Monday. Until now, the amount of the spam is not large, but we believe it will increase.

The spam contain a SkypeToolbarForOutlook.zip file in the attachment, which looks deceptive but in fact it’s a backdoor trojan that has a very low AV detection.
