Hawaiian Airlines warning about e-mail with virus

Advertiser Staff

Hawaiian Airlines is warning about a fraudulent e-mail being circulated that appears to come from the carrier and carries a virus.

The airline sent out a warning to members of its frequent flier program saying the e-mail is labeled "Your airline ticket" and appears of a notice of a new ticketing service. It informs the recipient that a new account has been opened in their name.

Hawaiian said an attachment to the e-mail looks like an electronic ticket but contains a virus. It is advising people to not open the attachment and to delete the e-mail from their inbox.
