What is going on with Mercedes's Email System being compromised?
Hello guys,
I got my ELW from Jeff jackson. This morning I got an email from him - attachment with a passcode as well.
I assumed he got a chance to respond to my previous question and I tried opening using the Word on Mac. It asked for Visual Basic to open the macros.
Anyway, couldn't open the content, so, I asked him what is going on and he mentioned:
"Our email system was compromised early this morning - please do not open the attachment. It has been secured by our IT Department".

Typical in 21 Century.
It seems to stop lately for me, but I had dozens of those from my friends emails in the past, when friends knew nothing about it.
