| Beware of
"Spoofed" Email
There are viruses on the internet today that
work through the current internal email system. (SMTP / POP protocols.) They
"spoof" (pretend / appear to be someone else) an email address to gain your
trust and acceptance to do something you ordinarily wouldn't do (and shouldn't do).
The latest round of viral produced email attempts to get you to click on attachment. It
may be a .zip or a .pif - either way, if clicked on it starts computer code that executes
on your PC and can damage your machine or other machines. The following
"spoofed" email has come to our attention:
