Malicious contracts spammed out by hackers

Cybercriminals are exploiting a common inccident when they launch an attack like the one we are currently seeing in our worldwide network of traps. The malicious emails are being spammed out enmasse to computers around the globe, claiming to contain contracts for the unsuspecting recipient to approve. A typical message reads:Dear ladies and gentlemen, we have prepared a contract and added the paragraphs that you wanted to see in it.

The danger is that recipients of the emails might be curious and tempted to examine the attached file.”]
