The below claims to be sent from companies house. But its not. It has a file attachment, which we presume includes some virus or something not very good.
We had this come through to a couple of domains, on non existent email address. We have catch all set, so we got to read it.
The domain cpgov.uk is registered by someone who isn’t the government, but appears to be Russian judging by the whois. Most UK government organisations use .gov.uk domain.
The date is incorrectly laid out ofr the UK market. Rather than being DD/MM/YY its MM/DD/YY.
Our advise is delete immediately, and ignore.
