At CudaMail, we've noticed lately that the recent wave of "Shipping-related" spam has been increasing. You know the ones - "Package Tracking Details", "Fedex Shipment Details" or "Express Tracking Notification". If you regularly deal with these companies it may not come as a surprise, but if you're not expecting a shipment, you may be thinking of clicking on the links to check this "shipment". As usual, it's a good idea to not click the links! Try logging into your account on their actual website, or call them to check. With the coming Holidays, it's only natural to expect some shipments - and the spammers are taking advantage of this, and even dropping names like "Amazon" or major store names to try and lure you to click on their links and load their malware on your computer. - Take care when reading these emails, and be careful what you click on.
