McAfee has posted a blog response to news this morning that a mass e-mailing of a password-stealing Trojan was spoofed so that it appears to have come from McAfee.
From the McAfee post: “Some readers who did not follow the link to the description on the Kaspersky site clearly missed the statement ‘Kaspersky Lab believes that McAfee is in no way involved in the distribution of this Trojan.’ As a result we started receiving questions like “Did you really?”
(Update: As for whether anyone’s fallen for the ruse, a McAfee spokesman says: “Currently we are not aware of any affected customers who have contacted McAfee. We are certainly monitoring this closely.”)
