Jewish federation issues warning about email

The Jewish Federation of Winnipeg reported a possible cybersecurity incident Thursday morning after recipients received an email purporting to be sent by the organization’s president.

The email, which has Jeff Lieberman’s name attached to it, asked recipients to “reconfirm the documents below” by clicking on a link.

Federation officials sent an email a short time later advising recipients not to click on the link.

“It has come to our attention that you may have received an email from Jeff Lieberman asking you to click a link — please do not click any links without first verifying by phone,” the official wrote.

“If you have clicked a link, your email may become compromised. Please change your password, etc., and take extra precautions.”
