Experts warn of fake delivery notices impersonating FedEx, UPS, Amazon
By Kaelan Deese - 12/19/20 04:09 PM EST

Threat prevention experts warn that shoppers expecting package deliveries from top shipping companies such as FedEx, Amazon and UPS could be subject to fake delivery notices.

The news comes as online shopping has increased during the holiday season amid the coronavirus pandemic. Consumers are relying more on online shopping and home deliver to avoid exposure to COVID-19, the disease that continues to infected hundreds of thousands of Americans each day.

Hackers are reportedly taking advantage of unsuspecting online shoppers, sending out fake shipping notification links to capitalize on the uptick of orders this time of year, CNBC reported.


Fake shipping links can launch ransomware attacks on users or redirect to counterfeit pages asking for a credit card information in exchange for rerouting a package, according to CNBC.

There was a report on the news that
a woman was following an Amazon truck down the street
and stealing the packages off of porches
right after they were delivered.

Until she stole one from a house that had a video doorbell.
