Like everything else malware can be a hit or miss.
I was reading at MX Logic about another malware flood. This time it’s a fake email from FedEx. Here is the description from MX Logic.
Sample subject lines that we have seen in our Threat Operations Center include:
You Have A Package!!!
Tracking N <fake tracking number>
If I was a malicious spammer I would pick something more universal like the Antivirus attack. Honestly how may people are going to go for this email from FedEx? It’s one thing to target a practice or program most people have. It’s another when your playing on a margin. Even if they are doing the same with UPS, DHL, et el. I think this one will go bust pretty quick. I can see maybe a company clerk going for this but really. Let me know if you see this email. I would also like to know if anyone almost went for it. Let me know in the comments what you think about “targeted” malware like this.
