April 25, 2018 – We have become aware of a very convincing phishing scam being sent to our users this morning. It comes in the form of an email with the subject of “Mail Delivery Failed for <your email address>”. The body of the messages is as follows: –BEGIN
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
You have more than 6 incoming messages that could not be delivered to your inbox since April 25 2018 for <your email address>
The following address (es) failed and reconfigure Port 486, Retrieve Messages
Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 552-5.7.0[TSS04] max defers and failures per hour (Exim 4.88) allowed. Message deferred
If you click on the link that says “Retrieve Messages”, you will be taken to an website asking for your email address and password. This is a FAKE web page designed to harvest your login information. This information could be used to retrieve your emails and/or send emails through your email account. Additionally, if you use the same password on your email as other accounts, those accounts could be compromised. This is a very convincing and new form of phishing attack, so please be aware of it.
If you have any questions concerning this, please email support@internetpro.net or call 256-547-6817.
