Sounds like Tom Brady is up to no good again.

Told my co-worker I'd just delete all work emails just to be safe.

I got three of them this morning.

All were set up to look like they were from someone I knew, but were also cc'd to a weird and unfamiliar email address "hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh@ mailinator dot com"

(changed it so as to not hyperlink the fake email address)

 

[bbobbo]

in other words, don't open it or you will suffer doc pain....

Fake news. It's well known that Tom doesn't care for Trojans.

That was a virus that overrides your camera and takes a picture of the user. I know it's been around forever, but still fascinating stuff, nonetheless.

It would be embarrassing to get a virus like that in the middle of a porn sesh.

My wife claimed that she got one from me. It had my initials from her contacts come up on the email and everything. Like you said, it was for a different email address. Even worse for me, it linked to a weight loss doc. No beuno x100.

That's what I was thinking, while my brain multi-tasks and attempts to take control of Kate Upton's camera.

With my luck, I'd probably catch her on the toilet or something. (Clarification: that's not what I'd want to see, for all of you perverts out there.)

Yeah, it's a major phishing attack. IT warned us about it earlier today. Be safe out there; the Internet can be an ugly place.

Nary a word from our IT team here. The first word I heard about it is this thread.

Doc?...all I know is if you're in a medical office and someone says "bend over..the ol' doc is gonna fix ya right up"... Run like hell!

Our team is pretty sensitive about these things, to the point of borderline hysteria. Comes with the territory as an international tech company, I guess.

Gave you a funny, cause it is true-funny. but FYI "Dilbert" is the example we always use when telling folks they are not allowed to use copyright material in publishing products. Don't know if your picture would get Ian in trouble/cost $, but you never know.
