Targeted Phishing Scheme

SSC has noticed a recent phishing scheme targeting SSC email customers. Most of these scams are blocked by Barracuda. However, if you received a message similar to the example posted below, please DELETE IT immediately.

Attention!
 
  On October 22, 2009 server upgrade will take place. Due to this the system may be 
offline for approximately half an hour. The changes will concern security, reliability 
and performance of mail service and the system as a whole.  For compatibility of your browsers 
and mail clients with upgraded server software you should run SSl certificates update procedure.
This procedure is quite simple. All you have to do is just to click the link provided, 
to save the patch file and then to run it from your computer location. That's all.
