An alert blogger at BuggStompers picked up a brochure at his last visit to the bank. The brochure, titled “Protect Yourself From Malware” points you to a site to download Spybot search and destroy. But it is not Patrick Kolla’s site at Safe Networking that they provide. As you can see from this scanned image 5/3 Bank directs lobby visitors to go to spy-bot.net a dangerous malware site.

Too funny.
