Have you received any emails from payroll processor ADP lately? If you have and you clicked on the links they contain, you might have infected your computer with a nasty piece of malware.
Spam campaigns have represented a major issue for more than a decade now and it seems that the phenomenon is not going to disappear anytime soon.
There are currently two popular variants of the ADP scam making the rounds. One of them informs the recipient of a “funding notification – debit draft” and the other one is an alleged request that comes as a result of a security update made by the firm, Sophos experts
report.
