More virus attacks (UPDATED)…
I have now been notified by four individuals about recent hacking attempts. I have posted the emails these individuals received below. There are four different messages. I am happy to post these types of attacks, but if you receive one, please consult with an IT professional about obtaining the “email header”. This is what is most valuable to IT security professionals. Please send me the “email header” to post (see below for an example).
Below are the four malicious emails of which I am aware:

I am forwarding the feature column : “Kim Il Sung: the Great Hero of Mankind”.
This writing concerns his great achievements.
The column is very realistic and beautiful.
I guess everyone who reads this column is impressed with his history.
I wonder what you think about this writing.
Thanks.
