The emails appear to have come from the Director of National Intelligence and the Defense Intelligence Agency. I got four emails, two from each “source.” After the text is a link for more information that is a malicious virus and phishing attempt.
When I first got it, I thought, “I didn’t hear about this in the news.” So, I did a Google search. Surely, Korea launching an attack on Japan would put the military on high alert. Well, now we know.
If you get an email with similar language, do NOT open it. Delete it immediately, especially if you’re on a government computer.
Hey CJ,
This is the email I sent out earlier. Guess 400K names were hacked out of one of the DOD or Army websites. This is going around AKO pretty hard.
I put a good link on what the link will do on http://www.thesandgram.com

Thanks CJ I will forward to all and ask they forward to all.
Got the same message. Thought it strange that I would be informed about possilbe deployment through my ‘unsecured’ email. As a former active duty vet and reservist with the Navy, if the DOD, and Navy want to tell you about something like this (apart from the fact that such an event would be covered by the media), then they will do so with you on the other end of a phone call. Good info; will check out the link that Taco Bell reccommended.
