Online users, beware of fake "Canada Post Shipment Notification" emails like the one below. The fake emails have links that go to fake Canada Post websites once they have clicked. If visitors to the fake website attempt to sign into the fake Canada Post website with their account credentials, they will be redirected to legitimate Canada Post website at www.dhl.com and their account credentials sent to the cybercriminals behind the scam.
Once the cybercriminals receive the stolen credentials, they will gain illegal access to their potential victims' accounts, hijack the accounts and use them fraudulently.
