Malta Info Security

Just a quick notice - If anyone's interested in what's going on @ Blackhat Europe, I'm posting quick notes on my twitter account. http://twitter.com/sandrogauci

So we're back from Black Hat and the cold Dutch weather and I must admit that overall the amount of cool stuff that goes on during the conference overwhelmed me. More than the presentations (which hook you in themselves) - it was the people that we met and socialized with in the evenings. Amsterdam city is a great city for the urban runner - a must visit if you enjoy hectic run-arounds. Fine restaurants and lots of good company. On the other hand, if you're a bit like me, I would tend to go for a more relaxed area - nevertheless (I'm not complaining) - I loved it and would definitely jump at the opportunity to go there again next year.

PLEASE BEWARE:

This morning I recieved an SMS with the following text:

CONGRATS: YOUR MOBILE NUMBER HAS WON FOR YOU THE SUM 192,000 POUNDS IN THIS YEARS NOKIA MTN PROMO. FOR CLAIM CALL: +2347035278214 & E-MAIL: nokia@luckymail.com

Doing a little research, first thing to notice is that the number above (+234) is Nigerian. Already smells bad...
A little more research on google and you will find other reports of this message with people asking whether it is a hoax or not.
The sum, number and email vary accordingly - and it IS a hoax.

So readers BEWARE - as much as everybody likes the sound of it, don't bother calling or emailing or disclosing any personal information.

If you know of any other reports, feel free to comment below.
