Security Alert: Xerox WorkCentre

By January 10, 2014thinkCSC Security Alert

We have received several reports from clients who are receiving suspicious emails from Xerox WorkCentre, whether or not they actually use the device.

If you receive a message with “Scanned Image from a Xerox WorkCentre” as a subject and a zip file as an attachment, DO NOT OPEN IT FOR ANY REASON.

As a general practice, no company or device (copier, fax machine, scanner) will ever send you a zip file. You may receive zip files from individuals, but companies and services will not typically send zip files; always proceed with caution.

The Service Desk is always available to answer questions if someone is unsure of a file or attachment. Please contact us if you have opened the email or receive suspicious emails in the future.
