Security Alert

We have been notified that criminals have launched a major e-mail campaign to deploy the infamous ZeuS Trojan e-mail, which will send spam messages disguised as fraud alerts from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Twitter account hijack warnings, or salacious Youtube.com videos. The fraudulent IRS e-mail uses the verbiage “Notice of Underreported Income” as the subject Line and encourages the recipient to click a hyperlink to review their tax statement. DO NOT click on the hyperlink! Delete the e-mail immediately.
