Over the last 2 days, on 2 separate email addresses, I have received two eerily similar messages from 2 different people I know and who definitely don't know each other. The first is even weirder as his image was in the middle of the "stamp:"
I've never gotten anything like this, let alone 2 in rapid succession.
The first downloads an MSI file (which of course, I did not run) but which is not being flagged as malicious, but even what the pop-up information for the file shows:
with "ScreenConnect Software" as the authors screams scam. Here's what virustotal.com has to say about that MSI file, and none of the major engines flag it: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/acad1f9d0a4d58b6ecdf923a6447139feace645fc8d7ff790495ad7d5e50ac9e
Just wondering if anyone's seen this particular thing out there in the wild either before now, or popping up recently?
I doubt there's any point in telling the purported originators about this, as all of this sort of thing tends to come from having culled email addresses from cyberspace and the sender is not who it claims to be from at all. And, of course, neither has my email address in the To: field. One is bcc-ed and the other has nothing that shows as far as directly being addressed to me.
