Email scam aims to drop Dridex on machines by impersonating FedEx, UPS

As more Americans rely on package deliveries during the coronavirus pandemic, scammers are trying to capitalize on the tracking process by sending spoofed emails containing malicious software.

Shareholders allege FedEx covered up damages caused by NotPetya attack

Stock owners filed a lawsuit on Sept. 17 alleging that FedEx brass provided “materially false and misleading statements” about the ransomware attack that locked up systems at company subsidiary TNT Express more than two years ago. NotPetya wreaked havoc on corporate giants including Maersk, the British advertising firm WPP and the pharmaceutical conglomerate Merck. The White House blamed Russia for the attack, which caused more than $10 billion in damages and spurred a number of high profile lawsuits in the private sector. In this case, the suit alleges FedEx failed to inform its shareholders that TNT Express customers were abandoning the company in favor of other logistics providers […]
