Beware of Phony DHS E-Mail |
|
The Federal Bureau of Investigation warns that a fraudulent e-mail, claiming to be from the Department of Homeland Security, has been circulating with potentially damaging results. The e-mail includes an attachment that is supposedly an audio recording of a recent speech by Osama Bin Ladin. However, e-mail recipients who access the attachment simply activate malicious software that has been designed to steal information from their computer. Be careful if you receive this or a similar e-mail. And, as a general rule, anytime that you receive an unsolicited e-mail that seems unusual or makes you suspicious in any way, do not access it or any of its attachments. Simply delete it, unopened, from your computer.
