Think before you click...
Multiple new infections arriving via email
|
|
There are a few emails being circulated that look very real
and seem to be tricking a large number of users into clicking the link. One
mimics a popular package delivery company and the only thing in the email
that does not look legitimate is the address it was sent from.
If you receive emails from unknown senders, or if anything in
the email is incorrect, then you should delete it without clicking the link.
If you are expecting a package, take the tracking number out
of the email and paste into Google. If it is a legitimate tracking number it
will bring up the carriers website, you do not need to go to a carriers
website, Google will find the carrier based on the format of the number. (if
it is real)
Again, do not click the link in any email if you have any
doubt about where the email was sent from, or if it is real. Identity theft
and spam are on the rise and this is one way a hacker can gain access to
information on your hard drive, or use your pc to spam others in your contact
list.
If you get infected call for professional help and change your
passwords to your email account, financial institutions and other websites
from a different computer.
Please let us know if we can assist.
And if that isn't enough:
It was reported earlier today that NBC's website at
hxxp://nbc.com was briefly infected and redirecting users to a live exploit kit.
This is an example of a good site with a virus, and sadly this
happens all too often. So what can you do?
