DoNotReply@ikea.com Thank you for your order! IKEA receipt 607656390.doc

DoNotReply@ikea.com Thank you for your order! IKEA receipt 607656390.doc macro malware.

These emails aren't from these companies at all , they are just being used to make the email look more genuine, ie. from a real company.
Note
It's also worth remembering that the company itself  may not have any knowledge of this email and it's link(s) or attachment as it won't have come from their servers and IT systems but from an external bot net and they normally have faked email headers/addresses.

It's not advised to ring them as there won't really be anything they can do to help you.

NOTE
The current round of Word/Excel/XML/Docm attachments are targeted at Windows users.

Apple and Android mobiles/tablets can open these attachments and may even manage to run the macro embedded inside the attachment but they will be safe

The auto-download file is normally a windows executable and so will not currently run on  any operating system, apart from Windows.

However, if you are an Apple/Android user and forward the message to a Windows user, you will them put them at risk of opening the attachment and auto-downloading the malware.

These word/excel attachments try to download either...


... both of which are designed to steal login information regarding your bank accounts (either by key logging, taking auto-screens hots or copying information from your clipboard (copy/paste))

Cheers,
Steve

Thanks for the good advice Steve. Much appreciated.

I have just received one too - it certainly does look very genuine from Ikea - all the right logos and details. I wondered if my husband had ordered my Christmas present - but it is far too early so very unlikely.

Thanks for the info, I might well have opened the attachments for this.

I have also just received one this morning, thanks for the heads up.

I received this email today with attachment. When viewing the message source this appears to be an IKEA internal scam as the source email address is @ikea.com - So I suspect there is a rogue IKEA employee with a grudge. Same like TALKTALK mess. Pity Sweden will not get to receive all the phone calls from anxious public.

The order amount looks very similar to a recent collected order so I checked for spelling mistakes and authenticity of customer service number. This is a brillant spoof !

If I don't download anything can they still get into my account from just looking at email?

I have just received one too. Thx for the heads up

Do I need to have clicked on something to be scammed or just by opening it?

I received one and opened the attachment like an idiot on a work laptop. IT seem to think I'm protected, but changed all my banking passwords in case!

Hi,
I opened the attachment, so am I at risk now?

Good morning,

Received one forwarded from a society website where I have an email address as an officer of the society. I wouldn't dare order anything on the society without authorisation! ;-)

Unknown said...

I also received this ones. Thanks for your advice.

Received one of these yesterday, and your post confirmed my suspicions about the file attachment. Many thanks for this - very useful.
