Today,i received an Email having subject line:Hotmail!

This Email pretends to be from Hotmail and misguide you by mentioning that your account has been flagged due to
excessive login attempts from the Republic of Saint Pierre and Miquelon.

To verify that you are indeed the owner and bearer of this account, we ask that you click on below link:

http://login.hotmail.com.login.srf.wa.wsignin1.0.rpsnv.11.c5t.13643.888hotmail.com (Do not visit the link).

This is a phishing link, which displays a page and asked you to put your Hotmail Email ID and Password.

If you put the Email ID and Password, then this information will be get transferred to attacker.

Quick Heal blocks such Fraudulent links and protect its users from such Phishing attacks.
