Mail scam spread viruses in local computers – Sydsvenskan

How do you protect against virus attacks

Virus attack directed against, among other things, Swedish and Danish receiver, where the company PostNord is said to be the sender.

As a receiver, you are asked to click a link in the message. The link leads to a page where you should verify that you are not a robot, through a “captcha”. Then you get a file downloaded. If you open the file and run the program, your computer may be infected by malicious code. In several reported cases, it is a so-called “ransomware” installed. If you have received an email like the one in the picture so asking you to toss it without even opening it.

The warning applies above all PC users but everyone should look out for emails sent from PostNord where you are asked to click on links and complete information.
