I thought I had posted this earlier but here's the scoop..
You will receive an email from someone at whatever.com that says your email
account has a problem. Open the attached zip file which, may or may not be
password protected, and follow those instructions. Once you open the archived
file, it's too late.. You will get a "Salad" of viruses.
Folks, I cannot stress enough, DO NOT OPEN ANY ATTACHMENTS FROM ANYONE UNLESS
YOU REQUESTED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Virus scanners will not pick up password protected archive files.
I have gotten them from griffweb.com
Here is the text...
Dear user of e-mail server "Griffweb.com",
We warn you about some attacks on your e-mail account. Your computer may
contain viruses, in order to keep your computer and e-mail account safe,
please, follow the instructions.
For details see the attached file.
In order to read the attach you have to use the following password: 78228.
Have a good day,
The Griffweb.com team http://www.griffweb.com
It's funny because Griffweb.com is my own domain! If you use Charter or
whatever, you will get a similar message.. Today at work we had over 6000
emails in less than an hour with Zip attachments.
Serious stuff folks!
Mike
