BBC NEWS | Technology | Parking ticket leads to a virus

BBC NEWS | Technology | Parking ticket leads to a virus: "Hackers have discovered a new way of duping users onto fraudulent websites: fake parking tickets.

Cars in the US had traffic violation tickets placed on the windscreen, which then directed users to a website.

The website claimed to have photos of the alleged parking violation, but then tricks users into downloading a virus.

Anti-virus firm McAfee says the Vundo Trojan then gets users to install a fake anti-virus scanner.

Vehicles in Grand Forks, North Dakota were the targets for this new type of fraud."
