Heads up - possible virus

[SignManiac]

Just received this in my inbox and I have no idea why it was sent to me. I was suspicious and tried to dig up some info on google.

Clicking on Click-N-Ship Account link brought up a Kaspersky Trojan Virus warning and it blocked it.

So....If anyone else gets this sent to them be leery..

Thanks for the information, Bob!

Welcome! I just found it on our other production computer as well. Damn they're getting sneakier all the time.

True that!!

always make sure to hover over unknown links, it will then show the true URL on the bottom of your browser then you can check to see if it actually links to the website you want like USPS.com in this instance, most likely it wont

Good tip! Thanks

You know, I always wonder what could be accomplished if this pimply faced geeks actually did something productive in their momma's basement instead of sending this crap out.

Go the same on here this morning.... the links actually go to a hidden page at stylosophyevents.com (the main site is safe - its a wedding planner site that obviously does not secure their FTP).
