Some Star Tribune employees received e-mails with the subject line "Deadline Approaching - Health coverage update - 09-24-13" with a link to see coverage options.

Neither of the employees clicked the link, but we suspect it is either malware or a link to a bogus health care site. Notice that the two e-mails have different links for the coverage options.
