Square Wheels Posted December 18, 2015 Share #1 Posted December 18, 2015 Oh the madness. There was a pretty good spam that made it in. Keep in mind our exchange server probably has a couple hundred thousand people on it, not huge, but not huge, but not a small company either. There are few grammar errors, but not too bad. It came from a real employee's email account and was sent to many thousands of people. Then a few replies (to all) saying things like Done, Verified, All set... Again, pretty well done on the virus end. Now... there are so many idiots Replying All saying they think this looks suspicious, I reported this to IT... Do they think the get brownie points for being a genius and discovering the obvious? I'm shutting off my email. The post below does not have the link in it, let me know if you want it. Dear Staff(s).

My hospital has about 20,000 employees, and we're part of a largeish hospital group. We are one of the two parent hospitals, and we're the smaller one.

Then send them emails regarding their share of recovered fortunes in Liberia and winning the Irish lottery, if only they send you their bank account/credit card information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
