Technology: Hacker targets oil marketers by piggybacking on ID of big, regional expo

摘要

A phishing scam targeted oil marketers by spoofing email for the Southwest Fuel & Convenience Expo that occurred in Fort Worth, Texas last month. The bogus email was designed to steal members' information, said the Texas Food & Fuel Association, which runs the expo. Email spoofing a trade association or trade show is likely a different spin on phishing scams, which often mimic banks, company executives, lawyers, vendors and government agencies.
