[HFDlist] IAR Malicious Emails

[Sean Smith]

All,

See the below alert from IAR regarding corrupt emails sent out this week.

/Greetings. We want to let you know that some of our company email 
accounts (emergencysmc.com emails) were corrupted and are being used to 
send potentially malicious emails asking recipients to open an attached 
zip file. Do NOT open those attachments. Look carefully at the address 
the emails are actually being sent from. Any sent after 11am ET on 
12/14/20 look to be from us but are actually coming from 
non-emergencysmc.com addresses. Some prior to then came from our 
internal (corrupted) addresses as being from either Amanda, 
Subscriptions or Dispatch (all with zip files attached). Please know 
that our company email accounts have no attachment whatsoever to our IaR 
system data servers, and reside on an entirely different network, so 
this does not involve your IaR systems at all. However, emails between 
you and us prior to today may have been accessed. Please remember that 
it is always good practice to change your IaR passwords regularly, and 
to never click on any links in any emails that you are not certain 
about. Emails from us are always signed by us, and you should always 
call the sender before clicking any links if you have any doubts about 
their legitimacy. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and 
please feel free to contact us with any questions./

If you have any issues, please contact the IT Department.

Sean
