Cyber Spoofed White House eCard Targets Execs

My friend, Mike, at NetWitness, sent me information on a fake White House email that is circulating.

We were involved in the discovery of a Fake White House email that targeted senior government and a few corporate officials as part of Cyber Espionage campaign. The attack was Kneber again, a Zeus variant designed to steel credentials & confidential documents.
