Fake FedEx bill emails are sneaking malware onto Windows computers
Scammers are sending fake FedEx invoice emails that appear to be about taxes or billing and can secretly install harmful software on Windows computers if opened. The messages are designed to fool people who regularly deal with payments, making them look urgent and legitimate.
Who is at risk
People who use Windows computers and anyone who handles invoices, shipping notices, bills, or business payments are most at risk.
What to watch for
Watch for unexpected FedEx emails about invoices, taxes, or payment issues, especially if they pressure you to open an attachment or act quickly.
What to do
Do not open suspicious attachments; instead, verify any invoice directly through FedEx or your company’s usual contact, and report the email to your IT team or email provider immediately.
