Fake FedEx Email Borne Malware Alert
Over the last 24 hours we have seen a large influx of a new email borne malware campaign alleging to be a notification of non-delivery from FedEx.
The email alleges that you sent a package on July 25, but because the recipient's address was not correct when it was shipped it had not been delivered. It then asks the user to print out a copy of the attached invoice (a .zip file which contains malware) and to collect a copy of the package at the FedEx Office (address of office not given, which should be one clear indicator that something is fishy about the email).
Sample subject lines that we have seen in our Threat Operations Center include:
You Have A Package!!!
Tracking N <fake tracking number>
Volumes have been pretty high as we have seen over 21M of these fakes hit our systems within the last 24 hours, accounting for about 80% of all of the email borne malware that we have seen over that same period.
It's times like this that we are reminded that although many of the large scale malware campaigns that we now see are hosted on infected web sites, static malware distributed over email is still an active, viable tactic being employed by cyber criminals.

Attn: Jamie Mccormick , Good day to you and thanks for the mail.But i want you to no that you have no problem with your package because our dispatch officer will be delivering your draft to you and is going to follow you down to your bank to deposit it with you, that we are assuring you.
But before this can commence you have to pay for the Security Keeping Fee charges which you are expected to pay before we can deliver your draft to you.Without that we can not take delivery of your draft to you.
You are welcome to FedEx West Africa. In respect to your mail which indicates for the release of your package, Mr. Wellington told me he was going to contact you regarding the package he dropped with you at our branch office here in West Africa . The package which inside it is a check of $800.000.00 United States Dollars is right here on my desk waiting for it to be dispatched.
You can as well come down to this branch to pick up your package or even send someone to pick it up on your behalf. Mr. Wellington came to our branch office last week to place your check on out going 24Hours delivery; he has already paid for the insurance fee and the delivery charges. But he did not pay for the security keeping fee which serves as demurrage due to the fact that we did not know when you will be contacting us via mail or phone to inform us that we have your enveloped type package in which the check is included, so we advised him not to pay for the security keeping fee of the package to the company yet but we informed him to contact you on time so you will not have to pay more than ($215.00 USD) US Dollars on demurage. Please we do not operate COD (Cash-On-Delivery) on this type of fee. (This serves as the demurrage fee) All you need to do right now to get your enveloped type package in which the check is included delivered to your door step is to go ahead and pay the security keeping fee of the company so far, the fee is ($215.00 USD) US Dollars only; you are to come up with this fee as to process the delivery of your package for immediate dispatch. Once you make the payment of the security keeping fee, I shall send to you the Scan Copy of the Airway Bill and the package order number as well as the package tracking number in which you can use to check your package status at the FedEx branch nearest to you and also on our website online. Payment should be made via western union money transfer only for security purpose in our accounting officers name. The payment details are listed below.

Re: Fake FedEx Email Borne Malware Alert
I of course had received this email just a few days after I had sent a large check to my bank for an in-mail deposit. It was the only time in my life that I ever had done such a thing and the only time in my life I ever received an email like this. I remember having a huge heart attack, seriously, what are the chances of those two events happening so close together (ultimately my check got to my bank fine, thankfully, but boy was I freaked out).

Re: Fake FedEx Email Borne Malware Alert
Thank you for contacting FedEx. We appreciate your taking the time to send
us this information.
Here are tips on how to recognize a fraudulent e-mail:
-- The e-mail asks for your personal information or a payment. FedEx does
not request personal information or payments via unsolicited mail or e-mail
for goods being shipped or held.
-- The e-mail claims to be from FedEx regarding a package that could not be
delivered. These e-mails ask you to open an attachment to obtain the
airbill or invoice for picking up the package. FedEx tracking updates for
undeliverable packages do not include attachments. The attachment
contained in this type of e-mail activates a virus. DO NOT OPEN the
attachment. Instead, delete the e-mail immediately.
Fraudulent e-mails are the unauthorized actions of third parties not
associated with FedEx. You can help us make your online experience with
FedEx safe and efficient by reporting suspicious e-mails.
The following types of e-mails will be routed to our fraudulent e-mail unit:
-- Unsolicited e-mails that claim to come from FedEx.
-- E-mails that include attachments.
-- E-mails requesting your personal information.
-- E-mails that request a payment.
-- E-mails that misuse the FedEx logo.
Please note that questions about rates, package tracking and other FedEx
service related questions submitted to abuse@fedex.com will not be reviewed
or receive a response. Please direct service related questions to
customerservice@fedex.com or FedEx Customer Service by calling
