"You've received an e-Card!"
Good news? Happy Birthday? Get-Well-Soon? Maybe, but e-greeting cards, e-gift cards, and online holiday messages are increasingly being used by scammers and cyber criminals to spread viruses and other vicious malware. Many e-Cards are rigged with links that take unsuspecting recipients to bogus websites that can infest systems or compromise user identities and personal information. If you believe you've been the victim of an e-Card scam, report it to your computer consultant, computer help desk, or your Internet Service Provider (ISP) immediately.
I will post the Do's and Don'ts of E Cards the rest of the week. Stay tuned.
