Unusual list spam - caution

[Ralph DiMola]

As I've said for the last few years "Live by the internet...Die by the
internet" Look US OPM hack, Home Depot, Target.... Seems awfully
coincidental that the NYSE, Airline and WSJ went down the same day with very
fuzzy explanations. We had an employee get Crypto Locker 3.0 last night. The
Crypto thing in out in full force.

Don't open any email that even looks sketchy. Only go to YourBank.com or
sears.com.... And it goes without saying no FREE or XXX searching.

I would not blame this on on-rev as much as the hackers trying to shut down
the world. I had current anti-virus/malware on that computer and still due
to an employee's carless surfing Crypto got thru.

PS: I feel bad when I even catch a mouse in a trap and don't believe in the
death penalty or torture but I'm ashamed to say I would not have a problem
with giving these hackers a sign that says "Bikers screw their mothers" and
tossing them into a biker bar.

I checked my tablet, the enclosures were just html copies of the original
text. So I'm not sure what that warning means, since there was no spam or
phising links or anything besides the one-sentence warning that did not come
from the listserve.
