<\/p>\nI’ve been receiving emails from what apper to be friends of mine.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
These Emails are really coming from Poland and contain a link. There isn’t any consistent wording in the email, what is consistent is the Poland connection.<\/p>\n
The wording in at least one of these emails was clever enough that I thought it had actually originated from one of my friends.<\/p>\n
Thankfully I looked carefully at the URL and noticed it was in Poland. I’m a curious guy, since I’d \u00a0been getting quite a few of these things in the past week or so, I \u00a0opened the link in a protected environment on my computer.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0link redirects you to some Work from home scheme. Then sets your browser so that if you try to navigate away from the page a pop-up asks if you’re sure you want to walk away from the “Golden Opportunity<\/em>“<\/p>\n At this point I figured SCAM <\/strong>then closed the whole damn mess. My antivirus didn’t twitch but that doesn’t necessarily mean there was no danger.<\/p>\n I haven’t checked into the validity of the actual work from home scheme but given that these emails have all the elements of a phishing attack I’d say beware.<\/p>\n It looks like these friends have all either been infected with some kind of worm or they’ve all had their email addresses captured and sold to someone.<\/p>\n Be careful when opening your email & Happy emailing.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve been receiving emails from what apper to be friends of mine.
