SECURITY ALERT: Virus being sent to email.arizona.edu addresses?
I just received an email supposedly from egreetings.com which contains a link to "postcard.exe", which I scanned with AVG. The file according to AVG is "IRC/Backdoor.flood". It was sent to my email.arizona.edu account, so I suspect I’m not the only UA student to receive it.
This is the source code for what I received. Moreover, you can also read the warning from one of the online businesses with which the email claims to be affiliated.
The basic gist is that if you receive an email claiming to be sending you a postcard from "a family member", don’t click it.
If you see the same thing and you’re UA affiliated, be sure to notify CCIT.
Update: Looks like BYU got it, too.
I guess I don’t have to worry. Not being connected with a University. Also not having any friends helps.
