The Dridex malware gang is delivering a nasty gift for the holidays using a spam campaign pretending to be Amazon Gift Cards.
Such is the case in a recent phishing campaign discovered by cybersecurity firm Cybereason that pretends to be an Amazon gift certificate sent via email.
With the holidays upon us and so many people celebrating remotely, Amazon gift cards are likely to be a common gift this season.
Instead, a legitimate Amazon gift card email will contain a code that you redeem on the Amazon site to add the funds to your account.
If you receive any emails pretending to be gift cards and prompting you to download and open Word documents, immediately close them.
