The reason for all the poor spelling and incorrect date formats is NOT sloppy work.

The reason these fake “ransom” emails are so poorly written is to VET THE RESPONDING USERS.  The scammer does NOT WANT smart people to respond.  It would be a waste of their time, as the scammer will never be paid.

They prefer to target the “more vulnerable” by making the scam obvious.  That way any reply is likely to be from someone dumb enough to pay them.

Hey can we get BETTER HEADLINES for posts ? that mention the connection with Sophos ?

I just approved updates yesterday to a test group and was about to panic, thinking I needed to back the updates out before a reboot happened then discovered that is only affects those with Sophos installed (which we do not use).
