PHISHING SCAM - Referencing CDC Sponsored State Vaccination Program for H1N1

[#1]

Fraudulent emails referencing a CDC sponsored State Vaccination Program for H1N1 are circulating. The messages request the user to create a personal H1N1 vaccination profile on the CDC.gov web site. Users that click on the embedded link in the email are at risk of having a malicious code installed on their system. CDC reminds users to take the following steps to reduce the risk of being a victim of a phising attack:

> Do not open or respond to unsolicited email messages.

> Do not click links embedded in emails from unknown senders.

> Use caution when entering personal information online.

> Update anti-virus, spyware, firewall, and anti-spam software regularly.
