A new e-ticket infringement email scam has been landing in inboxes throughout today. Starting late in the morning AEST, the run continued for several hours with a display name ‘Anna POL #6635’ and display address of ‘strathmorecc(at)live(dot)com(dot)au’
The scam uses compromised MailChimp accounts to distribute a malicious ZIP file. This is a tactic that is becoming more prevalent. Because the accounts are legitimate, it is difficult for anti-virus and email scanners to identify and block the initial email run.
