The "Bild am Sonntag" has provided details regarding the end of the week, in the post box of a few MPs an email with the sender "Angela Merkel" has gotten - including a contaminated connection. The Bundestag cautioned on its inside system against false messages.

In this way, just the sender's name has been changed, not simply the address. Every client can roll out improvements in his or her letter box settings as wanted, in seconds, a few times each day, notwithstanding for each email.

Notwithstanding, the substance of the professedly email is dependably the same: they are sent to the "dear individuals" of a charged task group, which was welcomed by Merkel to a "month to month telecom" , ie telephone call.

The address is geduzt by the head administrator is stated: "what's more, you will likewise locate the current PDR data," it said in the letter.
