On Tuesday, January 26th, 2016, a number of UofM users received a message purporting to be from the Adobe Creative Cloud service with a Subject: line of “Adobe Invoice”. The message contained an attachment called “invoice.doc”, that when opened, would attempt to connect to a remote server and install malicious software on the recipient’s computer.

The remote server has since been taken offline and ITS staff are working with units who may have had computers that were impacted by the malicious attachment. If you received one of the “Adobe Invoice” emails with the invoice.doc attachment, please delete the email message and do not attempt to open the attachment.

If you opened the attachment, please contact the ITS Service Desk by phone at (901) 678-8888 or via email at umtech@memphis.edu  or your LSP for further assistance.
