MailGuard has detected a new email-based cyber-attack exploiting DHL branding.
This scam is designed to look like a ‘shipping notification’ from DHL shipping. The text of the message advises the recipient that they ‘have DHL shipment’ and asks them to ‘download attached to confirm your shipping details.’
The attachment labelled ‘shipping details pdf’ is actually a .ace file containing trojan malware.
The trojan malware contained in this scam message could be very harmful. If you see this message appear in your inbox, please delete it to avoid risking damage to your computer.
