Warning About Attached Documents With Malicious Code

CaTS recently learned of malicious Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents being sent via email to members of the Wright State community.
The names of these documents may contain references to an invoice, undelivered package, or other business related subject. The documents are designed to run malicious code on systems running the Windows operating system. If you receive an email with a document attached and do not recognize the sender, even if the email indicates the document originates from a legitimate business, do not open or download the document.

If you have questions about whether an email you received is legitimate or not, please contact the Help Desk for assistance. You can contact us at (937) 775-4827 or toll free at 1-888-775-4827.
