 Scattering attack e-mails from an attacker disguised as actual people concerned
We confirmed that e-mails that misrepresent actual people concerned, such as KEK employees were sent to multiple employees.
Each e-mail is accompanied by a file in word format. By opening this file, your computer may be infected with a computer
virus.
The name of the sender of these e-mails was faked as a real, existing person at KEK.
Please pay attention to the following precautions.
1.Sender's name and address in the "From:" field Keep in mind that the "From:" address your e-mail software displays can be
faked.
Depending on your e-mail environment, there is a case where multiple addresses are listed.
It implies that the displayed sender is different from the real sender.
You need to pay special attention in this case because the possibility that the e-mail is a faked attack is high.
Example:
When the real sender masquerades as High Energy Taro , the "From:" field may look like:
From: High Energy Taro ,,depending
on your e-mail environment.
2.Phishing e-mails
Currently, e-mails with the following features are confirmed. Please note that those with any other pattern may be sent in the
future.

3.If you receive the phishing e-mails.
If you receive the e-mail like this, delete it promptly. Never open the attached file or reply to the sender.
* If you opened the attached file of this e-mail, IMMEDIATELY update the anti-virus software definition file to the latest, unplug
the LAN cable, and scan for viruses, and contact KEK CSIRT.
Safety tip:
If you believe you need to open an attachment of a similar e-mail, contact the sender to make sure that the e-mail is real.
To do this, do not use the contact information in the e-mail. Instead, you should rely on independent sources such as phonebook
or business cards.
