FEDEX IS OFTEN USED BY SCAMMERS TO SEND SPAM EMAILS AND USUALLY, SUCH EMAILS ARE CONSIDERED AS NORMAL SPAM BUT LITTLE DID WE KNOW RECENT FEDEX SPAM EMAILS CONTAIN RANSOMWARE MALWARE ATTACHMENTS.
An email has been doing the rounds on the internet that appears to be a regular notification from FedEx related to a missed delivery. However, this is no ordinary email as it is yet another campaign to trick unsuspecting users into opening an attached invoice that contains ransomware malware.
The malware then encrypts the entire data on the system with this message:
“ATTENTION! All your documents, photos, databases and other important personal files were encrypted using a strong RSA-1024 algorithm with a unique key. Please remember: If you do not pay in (three) days YOU LOSE ALL YOUR FILES. Nobody can help you except us.”
When the user clicks on an attached file, the malware immediately infects the computer and locks out all the data including documents, pictures and databases.
