Email spam, also known as junk email or unsolicited bulk email, is a subset of electronic spam involving nearly identical messages sent to numerous recipients by email. Clicking on links in spam email may send users to phishing web sites or sites that are hosting malware.
There is a SPAM mail going around now with the above header and the mail body simply reads:
FYA, you are cordially invited.
Regards
Please do not open it or download the attachment. Simple delete the mail. The mail is a SPAM set to Piggy back on your contact list, forward the same mail to all your contacts and continue the loop.
Again please disregard the mail.
However, if you have been a victim of this attack already a password change is recommended immediately.
