Beware of "spoofing emails" impersonating Namerikawa city officials

Beware of "spoofing emails" pretending to be employees

"Spoofed emails" pretending to be Namerikawa city officials' names and email addresses have been confirmed. This "spoofed email" is suspected of being infected with a computer virus called Emotet.

*Emotet is a computer virus that spreads through secondary and tertiary infections by infecting users who open URLs in emails or attached files, extracting email information, and sending emails pretending to be real companies and names.

At this time, no virus infection has been confirmed at Namerikawa City Hall, and this email is not due to a virus infection of a Namerikawa City employee.

・Please check if there is anything suspicious about the email claiming to be from our city staff.

・If you feel suspicious about the email, please contact the department in charge or the contact information below.

When inquiring to the department in charge, please do not contact the address or phone number listed in the suspicious email, but check the phone number on the city website, etc.

・When you open a file such as Word, Excel, etc., if the button "Activate Content" is displayed, please do not click it easily. If you "enable content" of a suspicious file, you may be infected with a virus.
