Amazon Order Confirmation Trojan
Quick Answer
An Amazon order confirmation phishing email reached our help desk via Google Apps spam filtering, carrying download links to an infected Microsoft Word document. The lure was a well-crafted shipping confirmation, a reminder that even filtered, well-trained inboxes still see convincing trojan-bearing impersonations.
Today we received an email to our Freshdesk support tool that that was an Amazon.com confirmation messages that contained download links to an infected Microsoft Word document.
In our office message routing configuration, all emails first flow through our Google Apps account to be spam filtered first and then delivered to our help desk software.
This is a quick video of me reviewing the message and discussing just how easy it is to be mislead by a very well crafted email messages.
