Windows Live Messenger: Beware of Unsolicited Messages Sent From Your Friends’ Live Account
Recently (Starting from the beginning of the year), I received quite a lot of messages with links from my friends' Live account on Windows Live Messenger. The messages were sent by my friends' intention and some of the messages were sent as offline messages.
As discover by a few other bloggers (LiewCf and CyberHQ), the links in the messages will redirect you to a MSN phishing site and ask you to key your Live account's username and password. The phishing site tries to trick you by showing you "your images" that have been uploaded to Live website if you login into your Live account.
