If you are one of DHL's 2.5 million customers, you need to be aware of a new phishing scheme that is making the rounds.
Comodo discovered the scam and report that the scammers are trying to steal your login credentials, passwords and delivery information.
The phishing emails “sent” from DHL Worldwide and contain in the subject line “DHL Shipping Delivery Tracking Number.” The scam uses DHL's color scheme and logo's. The phisher then asks the customer to verify the tracking information.
Clicking on the link takes the victim to a log in page where the scammers can steal your credentials.
Comodo researchers said: “After the phishing victim simply verifies their email address and enters the password, a page opens with the text appearing “Your email has been updated” – making the victim feel as if all was an authentic transaction.
“In actuality, the log in and password have now been sent to the cyber criminals and they can immediately begin using that to access account and data information, or selling that information on the black market.”
