Japan’s National Police Agency warning of new emails delivering viruses to your computer, viruses that grab all your digital info.

In Japan 210 incidents targeting 5-thousand companies involved in the defense, aerospace and nuclear power industries have been reported, so far this year.

Individuals are being targeted as well.  33 individual cases reported so far this year, compared to only two last year.   The bogus emails are disguised as online job applications or product questionnaires.

Police are once again telling individuals to not click on any links on emails you got from unknown sources.  Companies have been advised to keep computers that get emails from the general public separate from in-house computers.
