Cable Bahamas advised today that it has been informed of an e-mail that is currently being distributed that falsely appears to be originating from the company and is targeting users of the company's CoralWave e-mail service.

Cable Bahamas wishes to inform all of its subscribers that this e-mail, which claims that the company is making security changes and provides an unauthorised and fraudulent link for customers to log into their account, is not from the company and warns that no one should click on the link or follow any instructions contained in the e-mail.

The fake e-mail is designed to deceive people into logging in to their e-mail account, giving hackers access to the users e-mail.
