A stone struggle in front
of the FTC building

The FTC, long a major crusader against email fraud, is now the target of the devious business.

The Commission issued a press release Monday that a bogus email is circulating, allegedly from the FTC's "fraud department." The address in use is "frauddep."

When a user downloads an accompanying attachment from the email, a virus "appears to install a 'key logger' that could potentially grab passwords and account numbers."
