The original of this email was scanned for viruses by the Government Secure Intranet virus scanning service supplied by Vodafone in partnership with Symantec. (CCTM Certificate Number 2009/09/0052.) This email has been certified virus free.Communications via the GSi may be automatically logged, monitored and/or recorded for legal purposes. HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF:
• Do not open attachments from unsolicited emails regardless of who they are from.
• Do not click on the link supplied. Instead, go to the relevant website and log in from there. Remember that fraudsters can “spoof” an email address to make it look like one used by someone you trust. If you are unsure, check the email header to identify the true source of any such attachment or link.
• Update your Anti-Virus software and operating systems regularly.
• Back up all your important files and store them off your network. Please remember that if a device is attached to the infected machine the files on this could also be encrypted with the virus so ensure they are kept on a separate device

or cloud storage to ensure they are not lost.
• Where a computer becomes infected it should be disconnected from the network, and professional assistance should be sought to clean the computer.
• Various antivirus companies offer remedial software solutions (although they will not be able to restore encrypted files).
• If you are a victim, report it. To report a fraud and receive a police crime reference number, call Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or use our online fraud reporting tool. http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/report_fraud
‘THE DYRE WOLF’ IS A SOPHISTICATED FRAUD SCHEME THAT HAS NETTED MORE THAN $1 MILLION FROM U.S COMPANIES. IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT BRITISH COMPANIES COULD SUBSEQUENTLY BE TARGETED BY THIS FRAUD TYPE. Spam emails with attachments are sent to as many computers as possible within a targeted company. If installed, the malware - a variant of the malware known as Dyre – spreads itself into the company network where it waits until it recognises that a user is navigating to a bank website. A fake screen is then created telling the user that there are problems with the bank’s site and to call a number. At the end of the phone line is an English speaking operator, aware of the bank that the user is attempting to contact. After obtaining the user’s bank details the operator commences a large wire transfer of money out of the business account. So far those targeted work in large and medium sized companies, and at present the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau have yet to notice any reports of this type of fraud being reported through Action Fraud. Prevention
• Ensuring employees are well trained in spotting phishing attacks where unsolicited emails and attachment could contain malware.
• Ensuring all company employees are aware of the scam.• Do not give banking details to anyone. • Only use confirmed banking phone numbers or those that have been previously used.• Do not follow links from an unknown source.• Do not open attachments on suspicious emails.• Run regular virus scans on devices.
If you believe that you have been a victim of fraud you can report it online http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/report_fraud or by telephone 0300 123 2040.
A SCAM EMAIL IS CURRENTLY BEING SENT TO VICTIMS FRAUDULENTLY CLAIMING TO BE FROM BRITISH GAS OR THE MINISTRY OF JUSTICE.
THE ATTACHED DOCUMENT OR LINK LEADS TO THE TORRENTLOCKER RANSOMWARE.
This malware encrypts files on the victim’s system and requests a ransom be paid in order for the
files to be decrypted; one reported amount has been £330 worth of Bitcoins.
It has been reported that some anti-virus vendors are detecting this and stopping the pages and or documents from being opened.
Protect yourself
If you receive an email that you are suspicious of do not follow any links or open attachments until you can verify that the email is genuine. To do this contact the organisation that the email has
come from by sourcing the number independently from the email received.
• If you believe the email to be fake, report it to your email provider as spam.• Ensure your anti-virus software is up to date this will help to mitigate the potential for virus
to be downloaded. It should be noted that anti-virus software is constantly being updated and may not stop all viruses especially if they are new or been adapted. It has been reported that some anti-virus vendors are detecting this and stopping the pages and or documents from being opened.
• If you have opened an attachment or followed a link which you believe to be suspicious it is recommended that you run your anti-virus and/or take your machine to a reputable company to have it cleaned.
• In cases where files have been encrypted it can be very difficult to retrieve them, and in most cases they will be lost. It is recommended that you always back up all files on a separate device or cloud storage to ensure they are not lost. Please remember that if a device is attached to the infected machine the files on this could also be encrypted with the virus so ensure they are kept separate.
