Seasonal Warning
14th December 2013

It's Christmas and you don't expect people to take advantage of the season but the hackers and virus creators are still busy so beware ..........

This morning I received an email reporting to be Seasonal Greetings from my Family & Friends. It provides buttons to click to "View your Seasons Greeting Video Card" Had I clicked it I would have been prompted to open or download a file which would have been malicious code and would have infected my PC with a virus, trojan or just simply given access to my files. Please be very careful about what you click on over Christmas as it may not be what you expect.

Have a very happy Christmas.
