This is an example of one of the more sophisticated scams we received. The attackers trick victims into thinking someone has ordered an iPad for them. The hook is in the attachment. Once opened the attackers have full access to the victim computer. We have some red flags in this example:

  • The message is unexpected and in some ways to good to be true.
  • The order contains the name and address for Cliff Mcgrath.
  • The message contains typos.
