At the moment, a lot of Internet users are receiving an email that supposedly comes from DHL. This will inform you that the delivery date of a package has been changed.
If you believe the content of the email and click on the reference / link out of curiosity, then you will catch a Trojan!
Screenshot of the wrong DHL email:
If you click on the link, a FILE will immediately be loaded onto the computer.

Be fooled by the file name: “DHL Report….” Don't be fooled, because it's not a report from DHL - but a nasty Trojan!
We had the file checked Kaspersky lab The result: The file attachment is infected.
What is a TROJAN?
Trojans are standalone programs (.exe) that pretend to be something other than what they really are. 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.
The most telltale of all file attachments is the .zip attachment. Emails from trustworthy sources never come as .zip files, not even as .com /.pif / .ico / .scr/ .exe. Please do not open and execute the contents unless you consciously expect such a file.
1) Anyone who opens or has opened the file attachment and has also executed the content (this is the critical point!) should first have their PC scanned by their virus scanner .
2) Change all passwords to social networks, online shops, etc. As a precaution, please also notify your bank or credit card company.
