If anyone still has client-based email software collecting emails, be very suspicious of ALL emails with attachments. Why not set up a filter to forward any email with an attachment to a gmail account, and then pick the attachment from there. Google will sanitise your attachments - and you don't have to use this gmail account for sending, so you can still use your corporate email for sending/replying to genuine mails. Just an idea ;) Cheers, Tony On 10/11/2016, Alex Ngatia via skunkworks <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:
Hi guys,
In light of recent ransom ware attacks an interesting read on the issue:

The spammers/hackers have gone a step further and I now get suspicious emails containing zip and doc files from African names.
