Phishing attempt targeted at PayPal users

Lost24

CERT Orange Poland is warning PayPal users against a series of phishing emails. Such email informs users about recently received payment and in order to view the confirmation of the transaction all one has to do is to click on the provided link.


According to CERT the link in fact does not lead to the PayPal website where we are supposed to be presented with our account’s transaction history but instead is a download link to a .doc file. If we do click on it, an Emotet trojan infection is guaranteed
