UPDATED 8TH OCTOBER 10:07

IMPORTANT: *.zip Email Virus in North Yorkshire Schools

Zip (nnn.zip) File Email Virus

Emails claiming to be from large reputable companies (Amazon, T-Mobile, Companies House, HMRC, etc.)  are circulating in North Yorkshire Schools which have a zip file attached to them.

Within the zip file is an .exe file which if clicked on installs a virus on your computer.

The fake email has been carefully styled to look like an official email and may say that it is in relation to something that you have ordered, queried, booked etc.

Service issue

Please be informed that there are still on-going technical issues with the PGP secure email system.

We are making progress with the investigation of this issue, but until we notify you that the encryption is working correctly, please do not send emails via the PGP system as these will not be encrypted.

Please note that this does not affect the sending of encrypted emails sent via Criminal Justice Secure Email (CJSM) or Government Connect Secure Extranet (GCSx).
