Email Trojan Malware INVOICE FOR PAYMENT - 7500005791 from Lyn.Whitehead lancashire.pnn.police.uk

Latest email containing malware/Trojan appears to come from Whitehead, Lyn Lyn.Whitehead@lancashire.pnn.police.uk

This is probably a genuine email address and genuine person but not a genuine email. Strongly recommend you just delete and do NOT open. If already opened then full virus scan recommended.


It's not actually being sent from a PNN email address, it's purely a spoofed sender so it appears like it has come from them. They have no connection with it and no control over someone sending it out.
Almost certainly contains the Dridex malware/Trojan as many similar ones have over the last few weeks


EMail content follows:
