LinkedIn Virus Warning
MUN email users should be aware of a recent wave of emails that
claim to contain invitation reminders for the LinkedIn career
professional social network. Clicking the links contained in these
emails will not take you to LinkedIn. They will instead infect
Windows computers with a new variant of the Zeus virus before
redirecting the user to Google. Zeus, also known as Zbot, is an
extremely serious virus infection designed to steal credit card
numbers, banking, and other usernames and passwords. Any user who
suspects they are infected as a result of clicking on links in a
LinkedIn related email should contact the C&C Service Desk
immediately by calling 864-4595.
