The fake email messages contain malicious attachments, which the cybercriminals who have sent the email messages want the recipients to open. Once the malicious attachments are opened, the JavaScript code in them will take recipients to fake websites, where they will be tricked into downloading and installing viruses, spyware, Trojan horse and other malware disguised as legitimate software. Also, recipients may be taken to phishing websites, where they maybe tricked into submitting personal information, financial information or online account credentials to cybercriminals who will use the information to rip them off.

But, run a full virus scan on your computer to ensure that everything is ok.an anonymous userhttps://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/users/#an-anonymous-userMay 2, 2016 at 2:21 PM by "Hi Prnt" Malicious Email Messages Sent By Cybercriminalsan anonymous user from: Kingston, JamaicaI never open attachments, and usually just delete these messages right away. I get many of a variety of subject headings, that are obvious spoofing attempts seeming to come from my own account. I've recently received one of these "Hi Prnt" phishing attempts, but it was in my "Sent Mail" box too, which is a little bit concerning. My question for you is: have you seen this before? Is that normal with the "Hi Prnt" phishing scam - that it is in both Inbox and Sent Mail?Any information you could give me would be much appreciated. Thanks for your consideration
