Websense Security laboratories has issued a further global warning on the activities of phishing criminals seeking to fool poker players into disclosing account and card details.

The advisory warns that the new phishing scam targets users of online poker sites. Users receive a spoofed e-mail message claiming that a new online gambling law will soon be passed, and that they need to log into their poker account to view the impact the new law will have on them. The fraudulent e-mail, according to Websense, provides a link to a phishing site that attempts to collect personal and account information.
