Linkedin Virus

We’ve recently received 3 invitations from Thetis Islanders to connect with them on Linkedin which is a professional social network.  We ignored the invitations because we aren’t interested in joining Linkedin.  It turns out, however, that these may be bogus invitations. 

A Linkedin virus is making the rounds and it was mentioned in Tuesday’s Times-Colonist.  The request looks legitimate and includes Linkedin’s logo.  Please don’t be fooled, though.  In this day and age of more and more sophisticated computer viruses, be very careful of what you might trust.  If you have any doubts about legitimacy, talk to the sender to see if the email is real.
