Dear Clients and Friends:

It has recently come to our attention that someone has attempted to spoof our email. For those of you not aware of what that is, here is a definition.

"Email spoofing is a technique used in spam and phishing attacks to trick users into thinking a message came from a person or entity they know or trust. In spoofing attacks, the sender forges email headers so that client software displays the fraudulent sender address, which most users take at face value. Users do not realize the sender is forged unless they inspect the header more closely. If it is a name they recognize, they are more likely to trust it. So, they will click malicious links, open malware attachments, send sensitive data, and even wire corporate funds."

Please look over any emails that look like they are coming from our office. The spoofed email is coming from a domain of (dot)com...(We are typing this domain w/out the official .com b/c we definitely don't want to create a link to it in this post.) Notice the two i’s. This is not our email and is not running through our server. Please do not respond to any emails ending in that domain asking for any information.

We have reported this issue to about everyone we know of, but unfortunately there is not much to do except become more vigilant. Statistics show that over 3.1 billion spoofed emails go out every day. Again, please do not respond to any emails ending in that domain asking for any information.

Brad
