ALERT: Blood Test Results
Cybercriminals are stooping lower (we didn’t think that was possible) and using the threat of cancer to fool people into unknowingly infecting their computers. They are sending emails with the headline “IMPORTANT: Blood Analysis Results”, and the message is along the lines of:
“We have been sent a sample of your blood analysis for further research. During the complete blood count (CBC) we have revealed that your white blood count is very low, and unfortunately, we have a suspicion of cancer. We suggest you print out your CBC test results and interpretations in attachment below and visit your family doctor as soon as possible.”
The attached file is not a CBC test result, but a double extension file (.pdf.exe), and opening this file will install malware on your computer. At the moment, there are only 14 antivirus products that will register this file as being malicious, so it is very important to stop and think about what you are opening or downloading onto your computer from email.
Technology by Design uses, and sells, an antivirus software as well as a spam filter that will register this file as being malicious. TbyD’s customers have been targeted with this virus, but our antivirus and spam filter has blocked it from reaching the intended recipients. For a low fee, you can ensure your computer network is safe. For more information, call Bob at (204) 800-3166.
You can’t stop CyberCriminals from targeting your company or employees.
But you can be prepared for their arrival, and have full shields up.
