The next in the never ending series of Locky downloaders is an email with the subject of Neopost documents 0000888121970 coming as usual from random companies, names and email addresses with a random named zip attachment containing a WSF file . The from address is neopostdonotreply( random numbers) @ random companies<\/p>\n
They use email addresses and subjects that will entice a user to read the email and open the attachment. A very high proportion are being targeted at small and medium size businesses, with the hope of getting a better response than they do from consumers.<\/p>\n
One of the emails looks like:<\/p>\n

Many of them are also designed to specifically steal your Facebook and other social network log in details. A very high proportion are Ransomware versions that encrypt your files and demand money ( about \u00a3350\/$400) to recover the files.<\/p>\n All the alleged senders, amounts, reference numbers, Bank codes, companies, names of employees, employee positions, email addresses and phone numbers mentioned in the emails are all random. Some of these companies will exist and some won\u2019t.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t try to respond by phone or email, all you will do is end up with an innocent person or company who have had their details spoofed and picked at random from a long list that the bad guys have previously found. The bad guys choose companies, Government departments and organisations with subjects that are designed to entice you or alarm you into blindly opening the attachment or clicking the link in the email to see what is happening.<\/p>\nBody Content:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
