“Account will be migrated today”: Be careful!

The criminals claim that all email accounts must be migrated on the day you also receive the email. For this to work, all employees must register via a link. If this is not done within the next 24 hours, the email account will be deactivated without notice.

Employees/employees.

Today, October 20, 2022, we are migrating the entire employee and management email account to Outlook 2022 Office Webmail. Therefore, all employees and active contributors must review and opt-in to an urgent update and migration to improve the security and efficiency of current spam emails.

All employees and managers must CLICK HERE to switch to Outlook Webmail 2022 for Employees and Employees.

Please note that this migration to Outlook 2022 applies to all emails from this service. We will deactivate all unactivated and inactive email accounts that have not been migrated in the next 24 hours without notice.

Compliment,

Outlook email administrator

Pay attention to these tips so that you can recognize phishing emails yourself in the future:

  • Email Address: Check the email address. Does the email actually come from your company? Our tip: Click on “Reply” and you will see the exact email address.
  • Impersonal salutation: You will only be addressed as “employee/employee”. Isn't that a bit unusual?
  • Spelling and grammatical errors: Of course, mistakes can happen. However, if a message is full of errors, that is a red flag.
  • Content: Question the content of the email. Is it possible that your email account is being migrated without you being notified in advance? If you didn't work that day, your account would simply be deactivated, an extremely unprofessional approach.
  • Urgency: You are asked to act quickly. If you don't do this, there will be unpleasant consequences. This approach is typical for criminals to pressure you into taking quick action.

If in doubt, contact your IT department and ask whether the email is legitimate. If criminals gain access to your login details, this could have serious consequences for the company. A ransomware attack could completely paralyze the company and result in ransom demands.

Contact the people responsible for cyber security in your company as soon as possible to discuss further steps. Help prevent something worse from happening!
