Important Virus Notification

VIRUS NOTIFICATION: emails with the following subjects, “Here You Have” or “Just For You”

New Computer Virus – If you open your inbox over the course of the next few weeks and see an email with the subject line “Here You Have,” do not open it, and delete it from your inbox as soon as you see it. The email contains a virus that has been spreading rapidly around corporate email users in the United States. It is believed that the hackers purposely targeted the corporate email lists, instead of targeting personal emails. The virus sends an email to everyone on your contact list, claiming that they are sending you a link to a document.

The body of the email simply states that the sender has the document you’ve been looking for and provides a link to download the file.

The origin of the virus is still not clear and experts have been unable to gauge how far the virus has spread. However, many corporate email systems have been infected with the virus.

So far, the virus has already affected ABC/Disney, Google, Coca Cola, and NASA.
