HQ USAFE Cyber Surety and Postal communication is informing everyone of customers receiving hoax e-mails from the United States Postal Service, United Parcel Service  and Federal Express  that include a damaging Trojan virus embedded in an attachment.

The e-mails advise customers to open an embedded document to print a delivery notice required to pick the parcel up at the post office or to inform the company to deliver to their house in three business days. The attachment is an .exe with a Trojan virus. Information regarding the virus is available on the web.
