[ADXA] BEWARE fake emails coming thru the ADXA system - Badattachment likely!!!

[Sandy Hutson]

   Thanks for a very likely possibility Joel. That would mean Bill’s and Ron’s PCs were infected from somewhere in common to a ham radio operator’s list. I mostly agree with that scenario. 
   Bill’s came to another personal email address I have, and Ron’s came to my ADXA forwarded email address. IIWII…. BE CAREFUL as you say, Joel. 
73 all ADXA members,
San

San,
What has most likely happened is an individual's computer has been infected and the emails are being harvested from there, not the ADXA reflector system.
Regardless, your advice is important. BE CAREFUL!

Got strange emails from W5SJ and K5XK to "ham op" and sent to my ADXA email address. Both were from DIFFERENT strange senders like wilfredoperry at perry.cl in addition to the K5XK's normal address in front of that. Both had an attachment I was asked to click on. The attachment square was named Form W-9.doc and had 196.09KB of information inside, supposedly. BE CAREFUL what you open. These things have happened before thru the ADXA list of members thru their ADXA email addresses. It will likely hack into your ADXA system or member comments. Not sure. Help, anyone?
   Just trying to make you all aware. Came thru to me at 7:09AM today.
