Household Improvement Emails Come with Zbot Malware

September 12, 2014 | BY Christopher Boyd
 

There’s a malicious email in circulation at the moment which claims to contain an invoice from a Kitchen Appliance company. According to another recipient of the mail, the named company is actually a real business entity although there’s no suggestion that they’ve been hacked or otherwise compromised – it seems the scammers just opened up a directory, said “That one” and just started pretending to be them.
The mail reads as follows:

M & M Kitchen Appliances – INV211457
Thank you for your recent purchase (REF: INV211457).
Please find a copy of your invoice attached to this email.
Kind regards
Nuala
