TO: Maritime Exchange Members

Please be aware of a phishing scam targeting the shipping industry. Criminals are using the Coronavirus outbreak as a scare tactic on the shipping industry to entice recipients to open email attachments.

One example of a subject line reads "Coronavirus – Brief note for the shipping industry." Another reported  phishing attempt included the text: "Hi, I thought that this brief note in doc format on the Coronavirus and its impact on the Shipping industry could be of interest for you."

The phishing email contains a Word doc attachment with a malicious payload that steals information and then downloads and runs malware packages. Although reported attacks seem to be limited to Word doc attachments, look for variations including different file types and hyperlinks.

As always, follow good email hygiene.

  • - Only open attachments or click links you were expecting from a trusted source.
  • - Do NOT open attachments or click on links that you were not expecting, even if it comes from a trusted source. Contact the person in a separate communication to see if the original email was legitimate.
  • - Do not click on links to sites that you could easily navigate to on your own.
Please be aware that email phishing attacks are the cause of the majority of all network breaches. Remember to think before you click.
