Dear [FIRSTNAME],
We have become aware of a new and more sophisticated phishing email scam. The email body contains what appears to be a legitimate network service update message similar to the one below.
On October 22, 2009 server upgrade will take place. Due to this the system may be offline for approximately half an hour.The changes will concern security, reliability and performance of mail service and the system as a whole. For compatibility of your browsers and mail clients with upgraded server software you should run SSl certificates update procedure.This procedure is quite simple. All you have to do is just to click the link provided, to save the patch file and then to run it from your computer location. That's all.

Below is an example of the link. It will contain your actual domain (where it says ‘your domain’)

Because the wording normally differs slightly between attacks There’s also nothing in the email that would easily trigger anti-spam filters so many may be getting through to users inboxes. User education and vigilance is currently the only defence.
Please forward this to anyone you feel it is relevant for as a matter of urgency.
Kind Regards
