DoT Payment Receipt XLS Email Spam

The latest email spam/virus has a subjedct line of "DoT Payment Receipt" with an attachment of PaymentReceipt.XLS. As with all of these types of email it isn't sent by the Dept of Transport, the email sender address has been faked to appear that it's sent by DoT to give authenticity to the email.

The attachment contains a virus/malware that will try to install a banking stealer trojan on your PC. DO NOT open the attachment and if you have we'd strongly recommend a complete virus scan repeated over a few days to ensure any new variants are detected.
Often these viruses are not detected on the first day that they are discovered.
