Another fake warning about changing your password but this one comes with a totally awesome virus hidden inside an attached zip file (well I assume it does…it’s not like I’m going to open it to find out. If it’s not a virus then it’s a phishing scheme for sure). Either way, you’re screwed if you follow the directions. Cool!
