Dear Valued Midco® Customer: Some customers with @midco.net email addresses received a suspicious email (subject line “Vigor2820” and from an email address starting with Voicemail@). This appears to be a ransomware Trojan virus that’s only being detected by 10 of the top 50 antivirus solutions. If your antivirus solution is not blocking this email, DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT and delete the message immediately. This malware will try to get users to pay to decrypt their files. It will take over your computer screen with a threat. If you have downloaded the attachment, you may lose your files, however, under no circumstance should you pay or agree to anything to get your files back. This is what the attackers want so they can carry on other malicious activities. If you have opened the attachment, we recommend:
Our team has blocked this sender from sending new emails, and we’re actively scanning all customer inboxes to remove previously received messages. Thank you for your patience. Sincerely, Midco |
