Default Bogus Blinds.ca order email with a virus

Anyone else ever use blinds.ca and just get a bogus order confirmation that links to a virus?

I got it at 2 different email addresses, ones that I know I've used to order stuff from blinds.ca before, so I'm wondering if they got hacked.

I called and they seemed to be aware of it, so they were hacked.

She said that they don't store credit card info, but so she says.

So anyone who's used blinds.ca or blinds.com keep an eye on your credit card statements, and change your passwords if you used the same password on that website vs. other websites.

Yup, we got the same thing this afternoon. Glad you posted this, or it would have taken a while to realize what was going on.

Thanks--haven't gotten the email yet, but I did just order a blind from them.

Got this email and was like "wait.....bamboo blinds? What kind of hippy is using my account"

A bit concerning since it had my name and ph# in the email. Realized it was bogus when the link went directly to a .zip file (how lazy is that?)
