The US Computer Emergency Readiness team (US-CERT) said to the computer users to be wary of "potential email scams, fake anti virus and phishing attacks regarding japan earthquake and tsunami disasters."
"Email scams may contain links or attachments which may direct users to phishing or malware-laden website."
"Fake anti virus may come in the form of pop-ups which flash security warnings and ask the user credit card information," it said.
"Phishing emails and websites requesting donation for bogus charitable organizations commonly appear after these types of natural disasters," US-CERT added.
Phishing refers to attempts to steal user names,passwords and other personal information from unsuspecting victims, mostly through emails or instant messages.
Pray for victims killed in this massive calamity. I'm sure they will rise again for fight.
