At the moment, Internet users are receiving an order confirmation by email that supposedly comes from AMAZON. But that is not the case.
This email came from internet fraudsters who wanted to use the file attachment to plant a Trojan on users.
This email is about:
The email in full:
Your Amazon.de order #~~~~~~~~~~
We are looking forward to your next visit!
Amazon.de
On board a file attachment with the name “Amazon_Bestellung.rtf”
DANGER! This email did not come from AMAZON but from internet fraudsters. There is a TROJAN in the file attachment!
Since this Trojan is only a few minutes old, it is only recognized by 3 out of 54 manufacturers.
What is a TROJAN?
Trojans are standalone programs (.exe) that pretend to be something other than what they really are. In this case it should appear as if it is an order confirmation from Amazon!
When you run the file, it seems like nothing is happening. But that's not true. A program is installed in the background. The programs or internet fraudsters behind such programs now have access to your data or can also have complete control over your computer.
Fell into the trap?
1) Anyone who opens or has opened the file attachment should first have their PC scanned by their current antivirus program .
If this does not lead to any result, you can also use a “ system restore ”.
2) Change all passwords to social networks, online shops, etc. Also inform your bank (online banking) and / or your credit card company.
