There are only 10 types of people in this world — those who understand binary, and those who don't.
There are many variants of this news on the Internet. Some say that this happened due to a zero day IE vulnerability, whereas some suggest it was Adobe Reader's fault.

Just received this in my spam folder: Title: UPS Tracking Number 9178975. From: UPS Manager Isabel Mcqueen Attachment: UPS_invoice_NR76234.zip (27KB) Hello! The courier company was not able to deliver your parcel by your address. Cause: Error in shipping address. You may pickup the parcel at our post office personaly! Please attention! The shipping label is attached to this e-mail. Please print this label to get this package at our post office. Please do not reply to this e-mail, it is an unmonitored mailbox. Thank you. United Parcel Service of America. Having never orderd something with UPS shipping I was skeptic, but it didn't look like the average scam attempt, so I downloaded the attachement. Luckily my antivirus (Nod32) was on guard and it detected "Win32/TrojanDownloader.Bredolab BH troian" in the zip file. Anyone seen anything similar?

Hi, I've received exactly the same spam today: title: UPS Tracking Number 7971888. attachment: UPS_invoice_NR76234.exe from: UPS Manager Tasha Quick support@ups.com Although I have order something yesterday it's highly unlikely they already delivered it without sticking a notification on the door. In addition the .zip folder contains an .exe file so yeah sure it smells like a spam. I do not know what the.exe does cause I deleted it, any ideas what the effect would be? Here is the message: Hello! The courier company was not able to deliver your parcel by your address. Cause: Error in shipping address. You may pickup the parcel at our post office personaly! Please attention! The shipping label is attached to this e-mail. Please print this label to get this package at our post office. Please do not reply to this e-mail, it is an unmonitored mailbox.

Interestingly Symantec is not able to detect it. Kaspersky file scanner (web-based) was used to confirm the virus name. I have shared my experience here along with a note of Kaspersky online file scanner URL. http://lavanyadeepak.blogspot.com/2010/01/quick-online-file-virus-scanner.html[^]

It sure would be nice if UPS really was so concerned about your packages that they contacted you, but since they don't even ask for an email address when you ship something, this is so obviously a scam that it's almost funny. There have been similar messages regarding DHL. The attachment is obviously a virus or something equally destructive. On the other hand, I'm sure there are a number of retards out there that fall for this...

Jystad, 2001Nearly all of my colleagues would open an attachment like that immediately ("hey, I thought, it could be important!"), and complain afterwards, that nobody warned them, not to do so. "Somebody should have told me before", is something I heard too often. One called me once, proudly telling me, she found a virus on her computer, but she removed it all by herself. Of course she fell for those faked virus warnings in Internet Explorer and installed a lot of bullsh*t.

Spammers & hackers are getting more and more sophisticated day by day; hell, they are even able to hack into networks of biggies like Adobe & Google[^].

With DHhelL it'd be even more obviously fake because they'd've chucked your package out of the truck without stopping, never mind checking to see if you were home.

Which I find pretty cool because I am usually at work between 10:00AM and 17.00PM, so not home at delivery time.
