Virus

Online criminals long ago realized that the simplest ruses are often the most effective. The malware campaign I discuss in this report is a good example of such a simple approach. 

For more than a decade, inboxes around the world have been hit by bogus emails claiming to be from international delivery service DHL.

According to this supposed warning message, you should not accept a video called “Move your cucu” because it is a very dangerous virus that will format your mobile phone. 

According to this email, which purports to be from “Admin” at your email service provider, you have a new voice message waiting.

This email is supposedly a shipment notification from delivery company DHL. It asks you to click a link to confirm your delivery details.

The attachment that comes with this email supposedly contains a Bill of Lading from an international shipping company.

Inboxes are currently being hit by bogus “payment remittance” emails that supposedly include details about a SWIFT payment.

One of the many ways that criminals spread malware is to send bogus emails claiming that the recipient has received a fax.

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) in the US is warning consumers about a new scam campaign using fake voicemail notification emails.

According to this “anti-fraud alert” email someone tried to pay with your credit card and the “payment is hold”.
