Government on Thursday warned the general public, especially Internet users, to beware of opening any attachment or document sent to them through the Internet with the heading "Invitation".
"Opening any such e-mail immediately unleashes a virus that can totally damage the hard drive of your computer”, a statement said in Accra.
The statement issued by Mr Kwamena Bartels, Minister of Information and National Orientation, said such alleged hostile e-mails circulating on the Internet, are headed, "Invitation" with attachment called "Bin-Laden Hanged" or Bin-Ladin Captured".
It said the reported e-mails are sent as attachments, supposedly with pictures of Osama Bin-Laden being hanged.
The statement particularly alerted Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to be mindful when opening such e-mails so as to protect their computers from crashing.
