[Please be careful of spoofed emails]
There have been cases where emails have been sent with the sender spoofing to be from our website.
We have confirmed that the incident in question is a type of malware called Emotet (malicious software or code created with the intention of operating fraudulently and harmfully).
Therefore, we would like to warn you about "spoofed emails" that appear to be from our website or related parties due to Emotet attacks.
These emails are becoming increasingly sophisticated, with files attached that aim to infect the recipient with viruses and real names being used as the sender names.
We understand that you are already paying close attention to these points, but we would like to ask you to once again take the following points into consideration.
One way to identify suspicious emails is if the sender's name and email address are different.
We use "info@zen-style.jp" for emails from our company.
The suspicious email also contains an encrypted ZIP file containing malware as an attachment.
Opening the file attached to the suspicious email may result in malware infection or unauthorized access.
Therefore, if you receive an email pretending to be from our website, please check the sender address.
Also, if the part after the @ symbol is anything other than "**** @zen-style.jp ", please delete the entire email without opening the attachment or clicking on any URLs in the body of the email.
We are currently investigating the facts of the matter to prevent secondary damage and the spread of the information. In light of this incident, we will continue to work to prevent the damage from spreading and will work to further strengthen our information security measures in the future.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

They are mainly distributed as Excel or Word files with macros, or as password-protected Zip files attached to emails, and enabling macros after opening the files leads to Emotet infection. In addition to these methods, we have also observed cases where clicking on links in the email body downloads malicious Excel or Word files, or where attacks disguise themselves as application installations in an attempt to infect the recipient with Emotet.
