BEWARE :: The electronic mail appeared to be from *Evernote* or the *Evernote message center* and came with the subject line "File has been sent" followed by the recipient's name. All of these were sent by Gmail users. The message usually does not have any content, just an attachment named DSC_ X.ZIP where x is a 7 digit random number. The executable inside the ZIP archive poses as a PDF document and this is exactly why you shouldn't trust a file by its icon and make sure that file extensions are visible This ploy was first reported in 2011, then again in 2013, and we're seeing that the cybercrime industry revives successful malware ploys every two years or so. **** DO NOT OPEN **** report to your email provider security.
