Warning!! Latest Threats - Beware Of Trojan Crawling Through Your Yahoo Mail



In the last entire week, I received an email containing the attachment in ZIP file from the same sender, two or three emails a day and what exasperate me is that it contains a VIRUS!!

The email content are as follows:
Dear customer!

The courier company was not able to deliver your parcel by your address.
Cause: Error in shipping address.

You may pickup the parcel at our post office personaly!

Please attention!
The shipping label is attached to this e-mail.
Please print this label to get this package at our post office.

Please do not reply to this e-mail, it is an unmonitored mailbox.

Thank you.
United Parcel Service.
That email was came from 'UPS Manager Bill Baxter' (I don't think so!!) and sent using 'parcel@ups.com', an attachment named something like 'UPS_Label_NRxxxx.zip'. Thank GOD!! ESET NOD32 AntiVirus able to detect that attachment as 'Win32/Kryptik.BUW trojan' and delete it.

I kept getting the same email continuously two or three times a day, so I blocked it forever. But today, I received another one:
Hello!

The courier company was not able to deliver your parcel by your address.
Cause: Error in shipping address.

You may pickup the parcel at our post office personaly!

Attention!
The shipping label is attached to this e-mail.
Please print this label to get this package at our post office.

And this one was from 'DHL Manager Robt Butts', sent using 'shipping@dhl.com' and of course with an attachment similar to the first one (UPS) that also contains VIRUS!! Again NOD32 delete that 'Win32/TrojanDownloader.Bredolab.BE trojan'. It seems like another type/variant of Trojan now. I need to block this address either.



My advise, if you received those emails and your AntiVirus did not detects it contains a harmful content, do not save or open the attachment, it is best to delete and block it forever. I have read from a Malay forum today that someone has made his/her computer infected by accidentally or you could say curious to know what is inside of that attachment and the worst thing is, that virus are powerful enough to paralyzed the AntiVirus installed in his/her computer.

So, I don't know about those manager names and the email addresses sent from, are they a real person and a real DHL/UPS email addresses? If that so, how come this scumbag able to use those names and addresses to spread a threats to Yahoo mail users? What do you think?
