The Central Security of the Ministry of Justice has warned about receiving "emails infected with spyware" under the title "Complaint Handling System of Public and Islamic Revolutionary Courts." According to a report on Tuesday (May 8), the Ministry of Justice's security issued a statement regarding this issue. The statement mentioned that "recently, electronic letters with a fake title of the Complaint Handling System of Public and Islamic Revolutionary Courts have been sent to some individuals containing false information." The Ministry of Justice's security added that these emails "encouraged" recipients to open the attached file. According to the statement, "the mentioned attachments are infected with spyware that sends user information, particularly in financial areas including account numbers, passwords, etc., to a location outside the country." The Ministry of Justice's security has warned that this software could lead to "unauthorized access and withdrawals from individuals' accounts." The statement urged people to refrain from opening attachments of any anonymous electronic letters. This is one of the few times that the Ministry of Justice has issued such a warning to the public. The increase in the use of social networks and emails has heightened the risk of user information theft if security issues are neglected. Typically, internet companies ask users to change their passwords in case of password exposure.
