If you recently got a email from DHL claiming that there has been error in delivering address and you're invited to pick your parcel at post office personally, and that email was with the attached DHL_print_label_[RANDOM NUMBERS].zip file, you surely got spam email containing malware.
The full letter reads:
Dear customer!
The courier company was not able to deliver your parcel by your address.
Cause: Error in shipping address.
You may pickup the parcel at our post office personaly!
Please attention!
The shipping label is attached to this e-mail.
Print this label to get this package at our post office.
Please do not reply to this e-mail, it is an unmonitored mailbox.
Thank you,
DHL Express Services.
