PSA: "Copyright violation" scam

[unixronin]

A trojan identified as Rogue:W32/DotTorrent.A is spreading a new "copyright violation" scam that steals credit card information by pressuring the victim into making a $400 "pre-trial settlement" to a fictitious ICPP Copyright Foundation for unspecified copyright violations.  The owner of the domain is a known bad actor associated with other malware including Zeus and koobface.

Oh, lovely! Thank you for the heads-up. I linked this post on my blog. The more people that know about the scam, the less successful it's likely to be, and the sooner its perpetrators will get caught.
