This morning I’m receiving quite a number of DHL Express Tracking Notifications which I suspect are malware. A check with the anti-virus program doesn’t reveal it is malware, but it is an executable file inside a zip file, typical of malware. Often new malware is not detected by anti-virus programs as updates to malware programs can take up to 48 hours after new malware is found.
One client I attended once had infected their computer with serious malware which was extremely difficult to remove. They had used a parcel service and when they received the fake email from what they thought was the parcel service, opened the email without thinking.
Don’t be tempted to open links from emails you receive. If you’ve used a parcel service you will more than likely have a link in the original confirmation email or a reference you can enter on the web site. Go to the web site and enter the reference.
If you receive a DHL Express Tracking notification, or in fact any notification, treat it will extreme care.
