More Fake UPS Invoice Attacks

Gift Another variant of the shipping invoice attacks has emerged and should be avoided. AV protection is improving and folks expecting actual shipments should always use the phone instead email for contacting their shipping company, if there are any issues.

More Fake UPS Invoice Attacks

We received two reports of fake UPS invoice tracking Trojan zip files. This is similar to other invoice Trojans we have seen. This appears to be a two way conversation it was really just the spammer who created the whole thing.


EXAMPLE OF EMAIL TO AVOID

Mr./Mrs. Victims First and Last name

I am sorry for this late reply, but we have good news.

We managed to track your package, and we have attached the
invoice you asked for to this reply.

The invoice contains the correct tracking# , since the one
you gave us was invalid.

You can use it on the ups website to track your shipment.

Thank you
John Henry
