I get daily emails from the KIM KOMANDO SHOW kimstipreply@lyris.komando.com;
Today I received the following security alert, which I am publishing for you all to know:
"There's a dangerous phishing email going around with the subject line: "CNN
Breaking News -- Mitt Romney Almost President."
If you receive this email, I recommend you delete the email
immediately!
Inside the email are legitimate-looking links that will take you to a
malicious website. This site will put a virus on your computer that leaves it
wide open for hackers. They can steal your information, including online
passwords and financial data.
This is a good reminder to be cautious when opening unsolicited email,
especially one containing links. If you have doubts about an email, visit the
site referenced in the email manually instead of clicking the links in the
email.
This malicious email isn't the only threat out there, so it's also a good
idea to have up-to-date security software installed. You can find great, free
security software on my site at this address: "

All I can tell you folks is Please be vigilant.
