Beware of a new phishing style

If you received an email with your address on it, company name and phone number and appears to be from the US Direct District Court. It is like a subpoena which asks you to attend in a court hearing and ask you to download a document on a website.

Well DON’T! Courts communicate on a regular mail basis and not through email. This must be a malicious email trying to make you download something to get informations on you.

If you are a company executive this might be a whaling attack. Whaling attack targets executives of the company for a possible password acquisition on some back door information. While phishing attacks are to everyone with an email address.
