Phishing Scam of the Week - Jan 6 2017

By Carol Hagen posted 01-06-2017 13:36

  

Did you know that 91% of successful data breaches started with a spear-phishing attack?

"There is a phishing attack going on you need to know about. The campaign sends an email with the subject: "Assessment document" and the body of the email has a PDF attachment in it that claims that it is locked.

The message reads:  "PDF Secure File UNLOCK to Access File Content". If you click to unlock the document, a dialog box comes up that asks you to put in your email address and password.

If an email like that makes it into your inbox, do not click on anything, and do not enter your email address and password. Follow the organization's procedure and if you are at the house, delete the email.

Remember, Think Before You Click!
