Mails mit Schadsoftware im Anhang | Mails with malicious attachments

IT-Security

Es kommen gerade gehäuft Mails mit schädlichem Anhang an der Goethe Universität an.

Die Mails haben eine html-Datei im Anhang, die, wenn sie angeklickt wird, Malware aus dem Internet herunterlädt.
Klicken Sie unter keinen Umständen auf die html-Dateien, da es ansonsten unter Umständen nötig wird den betroffenen Computer komplett neu zu installieren um die Malware sicher zu entfernen.

Bisher haben die Absender*Innen in allen bekannten Fällen alte E-Mail-Konversationen genutzt. Die alten Konversationen und vertraute Informationen aus früheren E-Mails, sollen den Eindruck zu erwecken, dass es sich um legitime Mails handelt.
Überprüfen Sie daher bitte die E-Mail-Adresse der Absender*Innen.
Seien Sie vorsichtig bei unerwarteten oder verdächtigen E-Mails.
Überprüfen Sie sorgfältig alle Links und Anhänge.

Sollten Sie bereits in einer solchen Mail auf einen Anhang geklickt haben, melden Sie sich umgehende bei it-sicherheit@uni-frankfurt.de!
--------
Right now, we are observing a new type of mails with malicious attachments arriving at Goethe University.
The mails have an html file attached which, when clicked, downloads malware from the Internet.

Do not click on the html files under any circumstances, otherwise it may be necessary to completely reinstall the affected computer to safely remove the malware.

So far, the senders have used old email conversations in all known cases. The old conversations and familiar information from previous emails are meant to give the impression that these are legitimate emails.
Therefore, please check the email address of the senders.
Be wary of unexpected or suspicious emails.
Carefully check all links and attachments.

If you have already clicked on an attachment in such an e-mail, please contact it-sicherheit@uni-frankfurt.de immediately!
