<p class="MsoNormal">Good afternoon,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted everyone to know that we received a spear phishing email today that was intended to compel our payroll personnel to route banking information to an unknown person and to potentially send payroll deposits to an alternate bank account.
Please be on the lookout for this sort of activity.<o:p></o:p></p>
