As discern by Cisco , some scammers are taking vantage of the reservation system for Windows 10 to send out malware - ridden e-mail , posing as Microsoft . The email pretends to contain the installer package for Windows 10 , while really carry a awful piece of ransomware called CTB - Locker , which will cypher your file and concord you over a practical barrel for payment .
The email break to a few length to appear legitimate — a spoofed email address , so it looks like it come up from[email protected ] , and disavowal / antivirus messages that give the impression of authenticity .
But all the hallmarks of an email cozenage are still there : neglect characters , eigth - grader committal to writing style , and , of course , the fact that Windows 10 is set up on your screen background , not through an email attachment .
