Recent Phishing or Mailcious code Email

OLS · 03-25-2011, 09:02 PM

I need the members of this board who are getting a recent series of Spam emails to respond here about it if you would. We are trying to figure out how they began targeting certain members and who might be responsible. The emails purport to be from one or all of three package express companies. They relate how you have a package that has been sent to your home address and it will arrive in 7 days. There is a version that says 3 days also. There is an attachment (zip file) to the email that is supposedly tracking information that a person might be inclined to click on for information on these mysterious packages. Who wouldn't want some free thing coming in, what on earth might it be? yay. Let's see what it is and who it's from and where it is. Except it is likely just going to install a keystroke logger or other spyware program onto your computer.

I sure would like to hear from anyone who is getting this series of emails. We have a wild hunch that it might be coming from someone we know, but that is PURE speculation and needs to be completely triangulated or else it would just be an unfair witchhunt. With your help we might get one step closer to finding out. Or we might just find out that everyone in the world is getting them from Julian Assange, lol.
