Members receiving scam/phish with digest and malicious attachment
|
Hi All
First thanks in advance for any help. I did a search of archived messages and did not find what I thought this might be. I have had two members report to me they received a copy of our group Digest with a Phish message and malicious attachment. The sender is not a member of our group. The alleged receiver of the digest? is also not a member. The digest has been altered throughout. We are a restricted group. I'm wondering if this is my group's issue or the members have been hacked. As I said, this is the second report. The first report had? similar name but different email address as sender, also not a member of our group. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Thanks Nancy C ECIR Group MOD |

If you have a copy of the message forwarded to you, it should include all the headers.? That's where I'd start, trying to figure out who actually sent it.? You may never get to the bottom of it, but it's happened in other groups when someone got hold of a message/digest and they try to make people think its from the group/site.? The From: and To: both being wrong are sure signs of a 'bad guy'. Duane -- Lots of detailed information can be found in the Owners Manual and Members Manual. |
