SOLUTION - imagedino.info MSN Phishing

CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IF YOU ARE SENDING OUT LINKS imagedino.info to all of your MSN contacts.

It would appear as the the MSN phishing outbreak is nothing more than phishing. After running several scans on his computer my "infected friend" found no viruses or malware. After changing his MSN password the messages seemed to stop. (Also verified by Gregg.

Lets hope this is just a single vector attack as now these punks have managed to get all the email addresses and msn information of most of the contacts. I would watch out for the next week or so for any suspect looking emails that arrive in your MSN account email address.
