The phishing email was spammed out at the end of last week purporting to come
from AOL's security department.
The message asked users to download software at the enclosed URL, which
directed them to a phishing site that attempted to steal personal log-in
information.
"AOL's security team discovered this phishing attack earlier this week and
immediately blocked all incoming emails to our members containing the URL of the
attacking site," said Andrew Weinstein, a spokesman for AOL US.
"We have also updated our phishing block list so that members cannot get to
the site even if they receive a link to it through another source, like an
external email or instant message. Instead, they will receive a warning screen
and be blocked from reaching it."
