DHL Delivery Problem email, virus attached

Hello again! It’s me playing the virus advocate for everyone. Remember years ago that fake Fedex and DHL email that was going around that had a virus attached (.exe) and everyone in corporations opened it and it spread like wildfire? Well, it’s making it’s nasty rounds again!

Here is an example (given to me by one of my fellow geek friends)

Dear customer!These usually have a fake invoiced attached, which is a small file that is executed and opened on your computer. So far the reports from my geek friends are that it’s quite destructive. DO NOT OPEN. Just delete the email and if you are waiting on a DHL delivery/invoice/confirmation, just call them directly to verify.

Here is a link to their website and to contact them.

We are getting a copy of the virus to test on one of our licensed AV product machines, so watch for an upcoming blog about our results on that!

We were not able to deliver the package you have sent on the 24th of March in time
because the addressee’s address is incorrect.
Please print out the invoice copy attached and collect the package at our office.
