    Hi everyone,

    This email subtitled "Completed: Please DocuSign this document : Confidential Message - Employers Only..pdf" is hitting multiple email addresses it our network at the moment.

    http://trust.docusign.com/updates-and-alerts advised of the issue yesterday.

    My question being, should ESET be able to work out that its a phishing email since attached file was an zipped file with an exe entension.

    I found this in my Eset Quarantine this morning.
    It might be that you were one of the first to get hit, before the Eset software recognised it.

    Fair enough. We did get hit early. Just thought that an exe masquerading as a pdf in a zip would have been an obvious sign that it should be flagged as malicious.

    Hello,

    Did you submit a copy of the email and its malicious attachment to the virus lab?

    Regards,
