Dear ,

WARNING - David Holden's email & phone has been hacked

Please delete the emails if you receive them and DO NOT give any money to the hackers!

David Holden's email was hacked over the weekend.

Please do NOT give money to the hacker or respond to requests for information, gift cards, or money. Just delete the email from your system. We regret any inconvenience the hacker may have caused. It is obviously out of David's control and has caused chaos here while we set up an alternative email account so David can still communicate with patients.

Hundreds of bogus requests were sent out asking for Amazon or Apple account info or cards to be donated. Please DO NOT respond to them! These requests look like they are from David; they have cut and pasted his email signature with his photo, making it look legitimate, but it isn't. Many of you have contacted him about this via text, suspecting it was a scam, and it is!

Another email was spammed, looking like David's account, asking people to donate to a Stage 4 cancer patient for her birthday, claiming she couldn't afford treatments and asking for money that would be paid back. This is all a fabrication. Please do not respond to these requests; they are fraudulent, and the hackers are attempting to scam you.

This matter has been reported to the Police. If you have been scammed, or have one of these emails, please forward to me on osiris888@protonmail.com

David's email has been closed down by ProtonMail to stop further activity. The hacker has now resorted to setting up an account, david.hhc@outlook.com, which isn't David's, with his email signature, credentials, and photo at the bottom, making it look real, but it isn't. Please delete these emails from your system, and no harm will come to your emails.

The best way to contact David for important questions is via text message at 0274 837 188. Please only use this if you have a genuine inquiry, as this has devastated David's communications, and we are working hard to bring his email service back online. In the meantime, in urgent cases only, until this issue is resolved, you can use an alternative email for David temporarily set up for this purpose. It is osiris888@protonmail.com. Please only use this in emergencies or urgent cases.

David will be back in touch when the issues are resolved, and we have resumed more normal email services. We're sorry this has happened, and it's a wake-up call for all of us to have better email security and to be wary of where we connect when overseas or in transit.

We believe the hacker got access to David's email as a direct result of the CrowdStrike computer software outage on 19.07.24 when David was in transit in Australia, and his flight was canceled, leaving him at Cairns airport for the night with the only email service available being the insecure airport WiFi, as all the other services were down. None of his patient files were accessed, as these are on a remote server and are totally secure. It was just his email addresses that were captured and then spammed. Emails are still going out in David's name, and it appears his X account has been hacked as well.

David would never request money like this from patients, so all of you who contacted David thought it was a scam and didn't give what the hackers wanted. David sincerely hopes none of you have fallen for this scam and again apologizes for any inconvenience or distress caused, more so for him than any of you, he hopes.

This matter has been reported to the Police. If you have been scammed, or have one of these emails, please forward to me on osiris888@protonmail.com

Thanks for your patience while we work to resolve these issues.
