Delivery Scams Imitating Amazon, UPS, FedEx And DHL Are On The Rise

As online shopping sees its biggest holiday season ever, hackers are sending fake delivery notices impersonating Amazon, UPS and FedEx, with scams up 72% from last year and 440% from October to November. Clicking a fake shipping notification link can launch ransomware or launch a counterfeit branded site to trick users into entering credit card and personal information to “reroute” a package that never existed.

"Fraudsters are setting up Shopify-backed online stores to sell fake COVID-19 vaccination cards to anti-vaxxers, according to DomainTools. Due to the decentralized nature of the US healthcare system, the cards, which carry the logo of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), were judged to be the simplest way the authorities can keep track of who has had the jab."
