Activist list serv hacked. Question for mac users

[mod mom]

Hello, first off I posted this in the mac group this morning but as I am worried, I thought that I might get more immediate responses here. Someone in an election integrity list serv I belong to (Agent Mike, it's a radical group that promotes fair & transparent elections, you know chain of custody stuff, verifiable elections etc) got his computer hacked last night and I am afraid mine might be compromised.

Anyway, I was on my ipad last night and my mail default has been set to 1st two lines and is NOT IN SYNC with our main mac. I attempted to delete some emails from this group and could not. The emails said a member's computer had been hacked into and not to open any mail. I went downstair and since they were not yet opened on the main computer (and it's not in sync?) I was able to delete these emails. I still am not able to delete them on the ipad. Tried "help" but didn't find anything. It may be coincidence but just received an email on main computer from "EGG".com (Have no idea who this is but says Secured Server Message" and to log on to resolve the problem (I didn't & a "Risk@ NACHA.org" saying a transaction was cancelled (no idea what this is).

Any suggestions? Should I make an apptmt for the genius bar and not open the ipad? Is the main computer protected since they are not in sync or is every device that uses our airport possibly compromised? Any help would be appreciated.

Fraudulent Emails Appearing to Come from NACHA (Action Requested)

Ensure that Frontline Staff Understand Sustained and Evolving Nature of Attacks


Action Requested

NACHA requests that financial institutions, billers, and payment providers ensure that their frontline staff — those who interact with customers — understand the sustained and evolving nature of these attacks. Organizations may wish to consider designating a focal point to coordinate communications and awareness internally and with customers. Kindly instruct customers to forward fraudulent emails they receive that appear to come from NACHA to [e-mail] for analysis.


Background

Further to previous Members Memos and notices made available on our website since February 2011, NACHA has been the victim of sustained and evolving phishing attacks in which consumers and businesses are receiving emails that appear to come from NACHA. The attacks are occurring with greater frequency and increased sophistication. Perpetrators may also be exploiting email addresses recently stolen from Epsilon.

These fraudulent emails typically make reference to an ACH transfer, payment, or transaction and contain a link or attachment that infects the computer with malicious code when clicked on by the email recipient. The contents of these fraudulent emails vary, with more recent examples including a counterfeit NACHA logo and the citation of NACHA’s physical mailing address and telephone number.
