Viruses abound on LinkedIn -please share with your network


Linkedin virus
 


Warnings from IT services.


Have you recently received this email?
I've written about viruses on LinkedIn before, but it seems that the bandits who create this virus are getting smarter and smarter.

1) There is now a more personal approach "Hello Henning etc"
2) The link that used to often be something that looked like code is now a real URL (or so it seems)
3) The sender (who is anonymized here) is made much more personal and there are more details about the person himself (certainly copied from the sender's LinkedIn profile)

I scoff it's a virus because:

1) The sender is in my network (1st level connection) but we have not had any dialogue for a long time and SUDDENLY the person wants to share a dock with me, without prior dialogue
2) All the virus messages on LinkedIn I have seen have all mentioned Onedrive (as Microsoft officially writes OneDrive) - so I have therefore developed a healthy skepticism towards clicking on Onedrive links.
3) If I receive a message that someone wants to share a document etc. with me, and it is not agreed upon or a natural part of our collaboration, I ALWAYS write back and ask if the sender has sent me this

What is SoMe virus?
