Phishing Scams come in many varieties. Some are personalised, but most are sent out to the widest possible distribution.

One phishing email in particular is circulating the internet disguised as a notification from the popular messaging service, WhatsApp.

If you click the ‘Play’ button or any of the links contained in the email, your computer may become infected.

Don’t Click the Links! – Dangerous Downloads

The links embedded in the email direct your browser to a malicious or compromised website run by hackers. Once you’re on the malicious site, malware is downloaded to your computer.
