Spammed messages were found to spoof a security management notification from
Automatic Data Processing, Inc.(ADP). ADP is an American provider of business
processing and cloud-based solutions. The mail, which sports a message header
and return address similar to ADP's, alerts the reader to an imminent expiration
of his system's digital certificate. The message also indicates that the
supposed renewal is needed access ADP's Internet services. The message then
instructs the reader to open the attached .ZIP file and run its extracted
contents. The attached file is in fact malware, and exhibits its malicious
routines on the system once run.
Users are strongly reminded to always be cautious whenever opening suspicious messages, even when the source appears to be a trusted one.
