Andrei-I 0 Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Got a weird email today and decided to share on the forum. Looks like a phishing attempt, correct? The link sends to the zip archive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of the e-mail source if the content appears to be of unusual nature, it should be fully verified prior to performing any activity stipulated in the e-mail; especially any download activity. It appears the OP was using a third party e-mail scanner that did warn him that the e-mail was suspicious. Then he wisely did what is posted above by posting the e-mail in the forum for starters.

QuickSilverST250 6 Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 We train our clients staff regularly and regularly remind them to alert us when they get any strange mails that was not stopped by EES and ECOS. We had many times mails slipped through and alerted us. We then submit those mails everytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
