HACKERS are using a recent Microsoft email notification regarding changes in its Services Agreement to trick people into installing malicious programs based on an exploit in Oracle's Java software.

The SANS Institute's Internet Storm Centre issued warnings about the rogue emails at the weekend, saying that they are based on a 27 August communication from Microsoft about popular products such as Hotmail and Skydrive.
