Virus Alert! Twitter, Google, Hallmark and Others Subject To Attack
The eSoft Threat Prevention Team is warning customers today of a new email scam circulating very quickly. These fraudulent emails claim to be from Google Staffing, Hallmark, Twitter as well as other social networks and legitimate businesses.
The email persuades the user to open the attached zip file to find out more information. Users that follow through and open the file infect their own system and become part of the threat.
The very legitimate looking email below is just one example of the scam. The email uses the actual Google logo downloaded directly from their website and easily hooks you into opening the attached file to find out more.
