Tell your teams to be careful clicking on any parcel delivery emails this afternoon. MailGuard is blocking a FedEx TNT email scam with a subject line that reads ‘Unable to locate you.’
A simple HTML email from ‘Official TNT’ the email claims that the address that ‘Delivery Group TNT’ have ‘on record is incorrect and this has hindered delivery of your pack with label #...’
This is a basic phishing scam, attempting to steal the email account credentials of unsuspecting recipients. Anyone that clicks the email to view the document attached will be directed to a clumsy FedEx TNT page.
When users are unable to login, they are re-directed to a similarly poorly executed Office 365 login page, where the criminals behind the attack are hoping to harvest email account credentials.
Cyber-criminals frequently exploit the branding of trusted companies like FedEx TNT in their scams, in the hope that email users are familiar with the brands and out of curiosity may click through in an attempt to see information about the failed parcel delivery

The vast majority of online scams - more than 90% - are perpetrated using email, so it’s wise to always be skeptical of messages from unfamiliar senders asking you to log into your accounts.
