Security News > 2021 > May > Beware: Walmart phishing attack says your package was not delivered
A Walmart phishing campaign is underway that attempts to steal your personal information and verifies your email for further phishing attacks.
A new email phishing campaign pretends to be from Walmart with a subject line of "Your Package delivery Problem Notification lD#" stating that they could not deliver your package because your address is incorrect.
"Unfortunately we were not able deliver your postal package in time because your address is not correct. Please reply us with the correct shipping address," the phishing email reads.
If you click on the 'Update Address' button, the phishing email will cause your mail program to create a new email with the subject 'Update my Address!' that will be sent to multiple email addresses under the attacker's control.
Phishing victims are prompted to send their mailing address to the attacker impersonating Walmart.
If you received this phishing email and mistakenly sent your mailing address, you cannot do much other than being on the lookout for further targeted phishing scams.
