Cyber criminals are sending bogus emails regarding the Queen's death, designed to steal victims' sensitive credentials such as usernames and passwords.
While the nation mourns the UK's longest-ever reigning monarch, who passed away aged 96 on September 8, cold-hearted scammers have tried to take advantage of the situation by spreading a fake email in the form of a digital tribute to Her Majesty.
The message, which was highlighted by experts at Proofpoint, pretends to come from Microsoft - and when opened up by the recipient, displays a large header reading 'In memory of Her Majesty'.
