A new phishing attack is targeting AOL subscribers by claiming that they need to update their account billing information in order to avoid facing restrictions.

The rogue emails have their header spoofed to appear as originating from "AOL Member Billing Services" <AOLMemberServices@mail.aol.com> and bear a subject of "Billing update on file must be performedz."

Even more fascinating...people still subscribe to AOL...
