Malware spammers are sending out emails looking like they are UPS or USPS or Fedex, claiming packages couldn’t be delivered for various reasons, with links to PDF or DOC documents.

Spammers love the holiday season because they prey on everyone’s holiday shipping needs. Be smart with your clicking folks – be safe!
