Another round of sextortion emails
We have gotten a few reports of a new sextortion email campaign. These emails are a little different than last year however the English and grammar are just as bad.
In the latest round of emails the bitcoin address is contained in a password protected attachment.
Do not open the attachment and forward the email as an attachment to abuse@uwgb.edu https://uknowit.uwgb.edu/internal/89637
