Spam emails posing as Delta Air payment confirmation emails are spreading financial and banking malware to computers.
According to Heimdal Security firm, a new campaign trying to get access to your financial information was noticed in the wild.
Users are receiving spam emails posing as payment confirmation emails from Delta Air. As the researchers point out, this is the perfect timing for such a campaign since many people purchase flight tickets this time of year because of the discount rates for the summer trips they plan on taking.
The phishing email is specifically made to make you curious. There is no information about the flight included, which is something that such emails normally contain, but there is a link that you are urged to follow. On the other hand, if you pay attention to the email you've received, you'll notice that the email address is wrong, as it comes from @deltaa, instead of @delta.com. Similarly, if you're a frequent Delta flyer, you'll know the legitimate emails from the airline look a bit different.
