FedEx has not validated the authenticity of any email address.

In this case, the link in the email goes to [donotclick]pceninternet.net/tracking.php?id_7487214609167750150131 which downloads an archive file track_shipments_FedEx.zip.


In turn, this ZIP file contains the malicious executable with the lovely name of Track_shipments_FedEx_Office_orders_summary_results_Delivered_tracking_number_9384758293431234834312_idju2f83f9hjv78fh7899382r7f9sdh8wf.doc.exe
which has an icon that makes it look like a Word document. This has a VirusTotal detection rate of 15/49, but automated analysis tools are inconclusive as to its payload [1] [2] [3].
