Details
We already have a bug open about these fake updates bug1282106
If there is more information about this that is needed and can be safely collected from users seeing this problem and reporting it on SUMO suppport.mozilla please let me know.
There are indications this may need no or minimal user activity.
The file links seen by users are apparently personalised and can not be opened by other people.
Thanks

Initially & provisionally I have marked as a security bug.
I am hoping this issue is in fact beingf investigated somewhere already.

John, how is this bug any different from bug 1282106 which is already filed? I would normally mark them a duplicate unless there is something particular or different about this one.
I don't think this needs to be private.

I was getting a bit concerned the other bug was not getting any attention although we have had hundreds of reports on sumo in the past few days. You and Daniel Veditz are clearly aware of the situation. Thanks for the reply, I will close this as a duplicate.
