And these email also contains attachment files, whose format is not supported by our MFP.


Example of attachment filename:

In case you receive any email messages which you do not expect, DELETE the message and DO NOT open any attached files.
 

Also we recommend our customers who are using "Scan to E-mail" function of our MFP to consult with their MFP administrator and take countermeasures so suspicious emails could be easily distinguished, such as changing the default settings of email subject sent by this function.
We continuously monitor security vulnerability status of our products, and deal appropriately with them.
