Jamaica CIRT has become aware that another e-mail is being circulated on the GOJ systems that indicate that they are coming from the *.gov.jm* domain. It may look like this:
NOTE: If you see this e-mail;
- DO NOT Forward, Reply or click on the link.
- DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY (Use SHIFT + DELETE)
- DO NOT CLICK attachment
NB: The email you receive may be a variation of the one presented above.
PLEASE NOTE CAREFULLY:
- This e-mail is not from the Government of Jamaica, even though the domain name (the part after the ‘@’ in the e-mail address) is correct.
- This e-mail may actually fool unsuspecting recipients as it appears to be legitimate, with the exception of the Download link, which gives it away.
Consequently, please treat every e-mail with an attachment with skepticism (especially e-mails with embedded download links).
