In a widespread malicious emails attack have been spammed out by online criminals, disguised as legitimate communications from the UK branch of online retail giant Amazon.Report Naked Security
The danger arrives in the file attached to the emails. The emails carry an attached file called "Your Order Details with Amazon.zip" which contains a Trojan horse.
It's understandable that some computer users would be fooled into opening the attachment, as they might be wondering what on earth they have ordered from Amazon.
It should go without saying that Amazon UK is a completely innocent party. They didn't send out the emails (despite what the forged "from" address used in the attack might suggest), and are having their brand tarnished by the cybercriminals behind this attack.
