I received an email with a subject Merry Christmas. it is highly suspicious since it was an attachment zip file link.postcard.christmas.index.gif7052.zip and in that file was a file xmascard.id116.cmd the cmd being a command file to run a script.
Please check your computer for viruses and do not open any emails with the merry christmas subject line.
I do not do any follow up on it as yet, but please be advised and take the necessary precautions!
