Dear Admin,
I received an email earlier today from the STEM Magazine about an exclusive feature opportunity. At first glance, it looked legitimate, so I clicked on the link to check the details.
But almost immediately, my system began acting strange. The screen started glitching and some of my tools started working on their own accord. Before I could isolate the threat through the terminal, the entire system crashed.
I am forwarding the original email below. I believe this could be a phishing attempt targeting our network.
