Would you know what to do? - A New Ransomware Blog Post

Dear Phil,

We had some questions concerning the invoice sent on May 5, 2020, for our x-ray equipment. Specifically, we discussed with our salesman that we would receive a discount for the item on line 24 of the invoice. Please view the invoice here.

Thank you,
Jane Doe
XYZ Imaging Center


Looks like a pretty safe email, right? Aside from the name of the person sending it and the name of the imaging center, which I changed to anonymize the email, this looks pretty legitimate. Specifically, it addresses me individually, it is from a known customer, it references x-ray equipment, and the email headers (not shown) were from a real customer that we do business with regularly. So when this email landed in my inbox, I, at first, thought the sender had sent it to one of the other mailboxes that I monitor for the company. My first thought was to forward the email to the sales representative and CC our accounting department. But after seeing that the email was sent directly to me, the marketing manager, the email made me very suspicious.
