Tips for Detection

• The display name “Adobe©Pugetsound” is unusual and suspicious.
• Legitimate emails from Adobe Acrobat Sign will come from adobesign[@]adobesign[.]com.
• Notice that the email contains an attachment instead of a link to Adobe’s website such as adobesign[.]com or documents[.]adobe.com. Beware of attachments you are not expecting, especially if it is an encrypted ZIP file since it may contain malware.
