Proliferation of phishing emails.
Dear customer,
As you know, the widespread use of e-mail has led to the proliferation of a large number of Identity Impersonation Post (PHISING) that circulate continuously over the Internet. Phishing messages try to impersonate the identity of a reliable entity, to distribute misleading information, requesting confidential data and passwords from users or sometimes try to encrypt the data of the recipients' computers to extort later if they want to restore such data. We often see cases of this type in the media.
In an attempt to combat this type of malicious communication, all e-mail service providers have taken measures to prevent these problems and have established controls (filters) on all emails, before being sent. However, these emails are increasingly sophisticated, so that, in a short time, they are able to overcome these filters again.
Dynatech has discovered that some emails of this malicious type could have been sent from the internet, using our email addresses.
Although you will already be aware, we would like to remind you of several things to take into account when identifying these unwanted emails and to prevent their use and propagation:
Kindest regards,
Dynatech

Dynatech has discovered that some emails of this malicious type could have been sent from the internet, using our email addresses.
Although you will already be aware, we would like to remind you of several things to take into account when identifying these unwanted emails and to prevent their use and propagation:
- These may contain links (links to websites), which are considered to be potentially dangerous. Valid Dynatech emails will never ask you to provide a password or click on any link except informative links that always carry our web addresses that contain "dynatech-elevation.com".
- They contain files sent as attachments, which are potentially dangerous if they are opened or executed. We recommend that you make sure before opening the files and, if you have any questions, consult us about the authenticity of it or if we have sent you that e-mail, using a different e-mail (do not reply to the mail you consider may be malicious) or by telephone.
- Make sure that all the addresses that appear are from the dynatech-elevation.com for communication from staff and the domain dynatech-core.com for general communications and management related to our client area. Previously, some of these emails had addresses of free providers such as @ gmail.com @ hotmail.com @ yahoo.com. It is common to have slight misspelt versions of well-known or established domain names, but careful analysis can reveal these irregularities.
Kindest regards,
Dynatech
