Fake Microsoft Outlook security bulletin

If you use Microsoft Outlook (not Outlook Express) watch out for a fake security bulletin. ZDNet reports:

If you (or someone you know) receives an e-mail about a zero-day exploit affecting Microsoft Outlook do not, under any circumstances, click on the links embedded in the message. It’s a phishing scam folks. The Security Bulletin (MS07-0065) it points to doesn’t exist. And just because it can never be said too often, I’ll say it again here. Microsoft does not alert users to security issues via e-mail. Ever.

More information is available from the security firm Sophos.
