This just came to my attention so am sending it to you straight away:
You are receiving this email from me if we are aware you or someone you know uses a Gmail account.
We just received an email from a trusted security supplier we use (Wordfence Plugin) with all WordPress websites that we manage.
The following link will take you to the Wordfence website blog; where they explain in easy to read terms about this latest security problem.
Click this link to read the article on the Wordfence website (note: this is a legitimated trusted link that I (Jay Daniells) have created for this email. It is safe to click). If you’re still unsure if it is safe call me on 0400 838 085 to confirm.
Be wary of this Gmail email phishing technique. Always check what you’re clicking on, even if it looks like it is coming from someone you know. This article explains how to protect yourself.
