Trustwave Vulnerability Scan Scam

This one is potentially a better attempt at a phishing scam than most.

Supposedly from TrustWave, it tells of a failed vulnerability scan on my network and to view the results online.

Visiting this site potentially loads Malware, or tries phishing techniques to get access to your systems.

One interesting aspect of this is it predicts IP ranges that will attempt to access your network, which makes me lean toward a malware attack.

This is an automated email message to prevent you that the scheduled TrustKeeper vulnerability scan of YOUR NETWORK SYSTEMS has completed and is not compliant.

IMPORTANT: During the scan, TrustKeeper Discovered several Unsecure systems. Trustwave strongly recommends you review these findings as your overall PCI DSS compliance status may be affected.

TrustKeeper generated a vulnerability scan report. You may view these results by accessing TrustKeeper at:

User Name:webmaster@deepweb.co.nz

You will receive an e-mail confirmation when the scan completes and your results are available. Please note that this can take up to three days.

Note: If you monitor your network for activity, note that the TrustKeeper scan may originate from IP addresses in these ranges:

200.16.208.0/24
61.37.230.0/24
