Account information spam is a term that has recently been turning up. Dubbed 'the latest spammer trick', it is definitely something to look out for. This is pretty much a multi pronged attack. Using a phishing technique to get you to a website that is infected by a virus and thus infect yourself. It works even if you realize that the site youve gotten to is bogus.
Be VERY VERY careful that you're sending your info to the correct place. If you have any reason to doubt the legitimacy of a website or email, call somebody and find out. Trust me, If your bank needs your information (if for some reason the wicked witch has come and wiped out all their customer information databases and their backups and the backups they keep offline in a vault in Toledo) then they'll let you know. Someone will call you, someone will mail you. A really informative article can be found here. If you're interested. Or don''t trust me. For some reason. I don't mind.
