Beware! This is some pretty bad stuff that is coming through your email.

It looks like the latest variant of Cryptolocker, called CryptoWall, is coming through email.  So far, we have seen emails coming through with subjects of “You received a voice mail” or “Balance Sheet”.  Since this is a new variant, it is not being picked up by many antivirus programs yet.

As a reminder, do NOT open any email attachments unless you are expecting them (even if the message looks to come from someone you know).  If you are unsure if a message may be a virus, please check with us prior to opening it. 

If you have an Vertical MBX phone system like ours, your forwarded voicemails come from mbx@mbx.com.
