July 8, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Queensland Police are warning members of the public about an abusive email currently circulating.<\/p>\n

The email contains obscene abuse directed to the recipient and alleges they have posted private photographs onto the internet.<\/p>\n

A link is embedded into the email designed to be activated by the reader. It is believed malicious software will be executed once the link is clicked.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs disgusting and offensive as this email is, it is a clever and manipulative way to garner an emotional response, peeking the curiosity of the reader into clicking the link which will ultimately infect your computer,” Detective Superintendent Brian Hay said.<\/p>\n

“It is imperative people delete this email as soon as it is received and always remember to never click on links embedded in emails.<\/p>\n

“A worse case scenario, and one that we have seen happen, is your computer becoming part of an international network of compromised computers and your identity and financial information being compromised.<\/p>\n

“Any person who has received this email and has clicked on it should immediately scan their computer for malware and change all their passwords.<\/p>\n

“It is imperative people maintain a modern operating system and up-to-date anti-virus software.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Fraud and Cyber Crime Group can be contacted on (07) 3364-6622.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
