Malicious/Fake admin emails

October 24th, 2009 Posted in News No Comments

A number of customers have reported receiving emails, stating to come from the ‘domain admin’. The emails ask the recipient to reset the domain/email password and click a link, within the email.

These emails are not from VARiHOST or anything relating to the domain/email admin.  These are fake/malicious emails and should be ignored/deleted. Under no circumstances click the link within the email. If you have, perform a virus scan of your system with updated virus software.

If you have any hesitation or query, please contact us.
