Spoofed Adhost Emails
Posted in SecurityWe note that clients are receiving email that looks like this:
==========================================================
Dear user stockton,
You have successfully updated the password of your Adhost account. If you did not authorize this change or if you need assistance with your account, please contact Adhost customer service at: admin@adhost.com.
==========================================================
There is a zip attachment to this email, and if you open it, you could be infected with the “Mytob.KU” worm. Our virus filters have been catching this email if it is bound for one of our local pop/imap accounts, but if the mail is aliased to go offsite, it could get through to you. BEWARE! If this email gets through to you, just delete it without opening the attachment.
Note that “admin@adhost.com” is NOT a normal Adhost support email.
