Info: Spam from “info@edpnet.net”

Dear customers,

We would like to inform you about a spamwave that identifies itself as info@edpnet.net aimed at both customers and non-customers. The source seems to be a botnet.

The mail contains the subject “Uw edpnet factuur 2015xxxxxx” and an attachment. We advice our customers to verify any open invoices via my.edpnet.be.

Please do not inform invoices in the .doc format. All of our invoices are sent using .pdf. We advice those that have opened the .doc file to scan their computer for malware.

Update: Our mailservers are running on a delay as the spam is being processed. It can take several hours for the processing time to normalize. No mail will be lost.

Update: Our mailservers have processed the last of the backlog and are returning to normal functionality.

If you have any questions left, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best regards
The edpnet team
