There are also new emails that say they are from American Express or Visa and that a transaction for you was not authorized.  Looks something like this, notice the space in the word “the” in second sentence.  Misspelling and bad “Engrish” is a telltale sign of bad things.
“Dear Customer,

For your security, we regularly monitor accounts for possible fraudulent activity. Below are t he details of an attempted charge which occurred within minutes of the timestamp of this message.”

DO NOT open, if you see something like this it is always good to let other people in your organization know since it probably went to all or some of your co-workers. Remember these are real issues and many companies are been affected by this.  The best thing is to make sure you have good multi version backups!
