    Hi Everyone,

     

    Past 24 hours there has been a lot of headsup about this malware which gets transmitted. But we don't have any update in Symantec nor if I missed searching.

    Do you guys have any update?

     

    I couldn't mention the file name as it doesn't get posted when I use it.

    Hi Shiva,

    Can you clarify your question?  There's always a great deal of malware and spam that is transmissed by email.  Malicious attachments which trick end users into opening them (and running the maware inside) are very common.  Definitely ensure that your mail is being scanned for malicious content, and educate end users not to automatically open or click everything which arrives.

    An example:
