Stay Alert For This Email That Can Harm Your Computer

There a lot of scams and viruses that you have to be aware of each and every day.

It's just another thing in life that sometimes makes the decision to move to a deserted island that much easier.

When I turned on my work laptop this morning to check my email, everything looked normal except for one email that stood out that said "Summons Notification" in the subject line, and "Court Summons" was the sender.

Right away my BS meter was activated. I did some research on Google, and I came to discover that this email is a scam that has been around since 2014 and It carries a potentially harmful virus-containing ransomware if you click on the link on the email.

After almost seven years, the same malicious email is STILL going around

This is what the email looks like:
