Tax Prep by Deb Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Wolters Kluwer Law/Business has Activated your New Mail Services!Thursday, December 10, 2009 2:08 PMFrom: "CCH" <[email protected]> Dear [email protected], Wolters Kluwer Law/Business has activated your virus and junk mail protection services. You should log in to your personal, password-protected Wolters Kluwer Law/Business Message Center as soon as possible. Your login address is: [email protected] Your temporary password is: 8gvlzo~O (You will be asked to create a new password after first log in.) To log in to your Wolters Kluwer Law/Business Message Center, use this link: http://login.postini.com/exec/[email protected] You may also modify your default settings or deactivate any services. Thank You! Wolters Kluwer Law/Business I'm very careful when it comes to e-mail, and I have absolutely no idea what this is about, but it does appear to come from CCH. I've gotten two of these e-mails and then a slightly different one a few minutes ago. Any ideas? Deb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Yes, I got one too. But the password did not work. Now I'm wondering if it was even legit, in the first place. I think I'll wait and call someone instead of trying to 'activate' that thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret CPA in OH Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Yes, I just found it there about an hour ago. I haven't looked into it yet - too busy. Definitely wondering, "What's this?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnieR Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I just received it! I must be special, I got 8 and each of them had a different password. I am definitely not answering them. AnnieR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRS Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Postini is a Google business app: "Hosted security and archiving services for your business Keep your current email infrastructure and add email security and archiving services, powered by Postini. Our suite of services require nothing to install or maintain, so you can focus on strategic activities that drive your business. Email Security Protect your email from spam and set content policies to stay compliant Email Archiving Capture, store, and search messages in a hosted, centralized repository Web Security Stop web-borne spyware and viruses in real-time before they infiltrate your network" Why we got the email is anybody's best guess. Hopefully, this is not a harbinger of things to come from CCH this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I have received two of these emails also. Why did we get them from CCH? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I have received two of these emails also. Why did we get them from CCH? I do not think they actually came from CCH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsowers Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I think it's spam. Somebody hacked their listserve. If you look at the domain, it's cchaa.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb39 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Is it possible that all who got the email were purchasers of ATX through TRX? I did not receive one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAXBILLY Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Is it possible that all who got the email were purchasers of ATX through TRX? I did not receive one. Don't believe so. I see it has been noted on the My ATX Support website of the "other" ATX Community. I'm just surprised CCH/ATX is asleep at the switch and has not notified us of the bogus e-mail. taxbilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilt Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I received it also and I use ProSeries. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I use ProSystem fx and have my email via my web site which is an Execusite/CCH product. I followed their directions to go to my email quarantine using my usual name and password and was able to change settings for email security, such as telling them to deliver certain names. However, even though their message had information for me, I received THREE of them. So, think CCH's computer hiccupped or something. Two of them were identical and the third a bit different in formatting. They also seemed to imply it had something to do with my attending their Users' Conference (which I did) but ended up being about email settings. Perhaps some real message got sent to multiple customer lists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret CPA in OH Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 The problem I have with it is that, when I type in www.cchtaa.com or cchtaa.com, the website isn't found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack from Ohio Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 This is TOTALLY SPAM and anyone who has clicked on the links should take precautions to see that no malware, spyware or trojans have been downloaded to your system. Since when did Wolters Kluwer Law/Business get into the "virus and junk mail protection services?" This is a no-brainer PHISHING e-mail. Come on folks! Went to a seminar on internet and computer security Wed evening. Do you know that 25% of people that receive Phishing e-mails click on the links. Last year 980,000 people were ripped off due to following phishing e-mails. To the tune of an average of $1,500 per person. THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK!

Lion EA Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Positini (sp?) is used on my web site to filter my mail by CCH/Execusite. Until this email, I did not know where to go to tell it to deliver certain venders every time (I did know where to go to get specific filtered pieces of mail delivered for that time only before deleting the rest of the mail caught in the filters on that specific day). So, I was glad to get the email but clueless to why I received three or why anyone not using a CCH/Execusite web site would get that mail. Be careful out there!

taxxcpa Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I never click on a link unless it is something I've requested and the body of the e-mail has a message that convinces me that it actually from the person, not from some hacking operation.

joanmcq Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Got a warning at work Friday (we do use all CCH research products) and it is a virus. DO NOT CLICK ON IT!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
