One of the more interesting versions of holiday scams involve the 21st century equivalent of greeting cards - the e card. It goes without saying that e cards are becoming the more popular method of holiday cards over the snail mail versions.
Savvy tech reader will know of course where I am going with this - opening attachments from sources that are unknown is a bad idea. And, it is clear that getting a holiday greeting from an unknown party asking you to open an attached attachment to see the "holiday card" has some risks.
Getting attachments on emails from unknown parties is nothing new. However, the holiday season means a great many more emails will be sent advertising "holiday greetings."
As always, the standard rules apply - do not open attachments from unknown parties. This is especially true during the holidays.
