Sophos Cloud OptixA new wave of mass-mailed Fedex spam is circulating this fine Thursday morning. The text from the message reads as follows (with slight variations in the tracking number, month and date fields):
Subject: Tracking N <some random digits>
Unfortunately we were not able to deliver postal package you sent on <Month> the <date> in time
because the recipient’s address is not correct.
Please print out the invoice copy attached and collect the package at our office
Your FEDEX
www.fedex.com
The attached zip archive and the executable inside the archive is detected by us as Troj/FakeAV-BY. This is yet another mutation of spam which also brought you:
- Your Online Flight Ticket N <some random digits>
- Fedex Tracking N_ <some random digits>
- Fedex tracking number <some random digits>
Please be careful about attachments from unknown sources in your email and don’t rush to the nearest Fedex office looking for that long overdue package; Fedex usually calls versus mass emails 🙂
