“"If you receive an email asking you to open a proposal or the sender is sharing a file, delete the email. Do not open the email; do not input any username or password if requested," wrote Grant County Director of Central Services Tom Gaines in an email alert sent out by the Grant County Sheriff's Office Thursday morning.“
“Gaines said the county's email system was hit by a phishing email after a county employee opened an infected email from another county, and was soon sending out emails with the same bad attachment.“
“Before quarantining and deleting the infected email and files, Gaines said some emails went out, with the City of Ephrata, Motorola and at least one employee in another county. He advised recipients to delete any county emails asking people to open an attachment.“
