From: james I personal genius < To: Subject: Re: G3 Email Incident Alert Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2017 22:54:59 +0000 So if you log into gmail.com from a new computer, it texts you a code to enter to proceed? It prevents hackers from accessing your account/email/google drive without your knowledge -- even if they managed to get your password. It can be a pain in the arse to have to do the extra step all the time. I ask because if I were a nefarious hacker trying to spy on JEE, your account would be what I would target — rich store of data attached to someone that fields unexpected contact requests constantly so much easier to "social engineer".

This is to inform that you received an email from with the subject line "25/07/17" on, or after 4:40pm yesterday and it should NOT be opened. As a further precaution, you should notify your IT department as they will likely require additional measures per your organization's IT protocols, such as deleting the email and deleting it from the deleted items folder. In summary, a single G3 user's email address book was compromised in Office 365 using Outlook Web Access. The intrusion was detected promptly, and the account was disabled in less than one hour. All emails and attachments sent were scanned by 30 different antivirus vendors to identify malicious content. We determined there is a malicious link in the attachment. If followed, this link will take a user to a phishing site to obtain a usemame and password. Internet Explorer Smart Screen will alert a user that opens the attachment (and click the link) that they should not proceed, however you should actively be advising any recipients of this message to not open the email or attachment and coordinate with your IT team. To emphasize, based on our internal IT security measures and protocols, NO CUSTOMER DATA was compromised, with the exception of email addresses. Upon detection, we immediately conducted leadership meetings and engaged a third-party IT consulting firm to control, assess, monitor, and advise on the situation. However, in spite of these measures, the infected attachment was sent. As a result, we are deploying the following measures: I. Immediate password reset with even more stringent password controls 2. Mandate of auxiliary company-wide security training EFTA00456176 3. Conducting client communications to advise of the email concern We at G3 Global Services hold our clients' information with the utmost importance. We felt compelled to inform you of the situation and advise that while no private information was compromised through this isolated event, a malicious link was detected and your firm should engage its IT security protocols to protect against further issues. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. If you have any questions, please feel free to connect with Janet Vrasic, Director of Customer Relationships or myself as our Chief Strategy Officer per the contact information below.
