Phishers never sleep... Recently we received the following email from a client, reminding us how crafty emails can be to entice you to click on a link that seems to have something interesting. This one is aimed at believing you that your website uses copyrighted material. Of course, there is not text defining which material but there is a link to what is meant to be a reference...
