[AEU Announcements] False Alarm

[announce at aeu.org]

A few people on AEU email lists have received an email purporting to be 
from the AEU and alerting you to a problem with your email account, with an 
attachment that purports to be a virus checker.  There is usually a 
password in the email.

The email is clever, but it is a ruse to get you to open a file that will 
result in a virus or worm being activated on your system.

This is in no way being sent from the AEU.org domain, nor is there any way 
to prevent such spoofing.  Please remember (a) to have antivirus software 
and keep it up to date if you use email, to avoid being infected and 
infecting others, and (b) not to open attachments unless there is solid 
evidence that it was deliberately sent.
