EVERYONE, PLEASE READ THIS EMAIL: NOW!
This is very urgent and a huge security risk. Pls act accordingly NOW!
Following the communication on Monday on the huge IT-Virus affecting us, there has been a continuation and escalation of the on-going virus threat. Should your machine become infected with the virus that is currently in circulation, the information on your laptop will be encrypted by the virus. Once your data is encrypted, it cannot be recovered!
Do not get infected by this virus. You can take some very simple steps to prevent infection.
1. Do not click on ANY links that are shared with you via Skype.
2. Do not click on ANY links that you have received that appear to have been shortened (A shortened URL typically appears as http://www.bit.ly/xxxx).
3. Do not click on ANY links from sources that you do not trust.
4. If you receive a link from a source you trust, only use the link if it is something you have been expecting. Do not click on links that are sent to you without any context or information being provided.
5. Check links that are sent to you using a call back mechanism. When someone sends you a link, ask them what the link is for, if the link was sent to you automatically, you will not receive a response.
If you have clicked on a link already and a file has been downloaded, do not try to open the file or your computer will become infected. Delete the file immediately.
If your Skype contacts ask you why you are sending them links to websites and you did not send the links yourself, your machine is already infected. Please go to your local IT team immediately.
As always, if you have any security related questions, please contact security.incident@lazada.com
