Notice of Fraudulent Email (2017-10-17)

Summary

This is a public alert issued by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) warning that a fraudulent email is circulating, falsely purporting to be from CIMA.

• Subject line: The email carries the subject line 'Circular No: 2016/088'.
• Sender address: It is sent from an address (circulars@cimoney.com.ky) that is not a genuine CIMA email address.
• Risk: CIMA warns that the email may contain a malicious attachment (a zip file) that could infect recipients' systems with a virus.

This notice is purely informational and is aimed at the general public and regulated entities alike, rather than imposing any regulatory or compliance obligation. It functions as a cybersecurity/phishing warning rather than a substantive regulatory requirement.
