This inconspicuous email can cause harm! It disguises itself as a friendly request for payment without any specific information. Since you cannot identify the reason or the origin of the request, this email formally invites you to open the supposed invoice attachment.
Additionally, this email is written in a clean and easy-to-read form. This is not a bad translation or a botched presentation. Short, clear and without errors:
Subject: Request for payment
Dear Sir or Madam,
we will send you the invoice and payment details by email.
Kind regards,
Moritz Schmitt
The appendix
The attachment with the file extension “.js” is a file that contains JavaScript or JScript source code. This file format is used quite frequently, but it can also carry malicious code, as happened in this case.
However, the attachment, which is supposed to represent the supposed payment request, turns out to be a Trojan.
