I've received a phishing email with this subject line:

New fax message 08-25-2023

Attached to the message was a zip file (of course).

Wow!

I haven't even thought about fax in twenty years. The phishing email must be targetting a select breed.

@fitheach I think accounts and order departments.

Precious few of those will still be accepting orders by fax. Most businesses I come across haven't had a fax machine for years.

Legal departments sometimes require some communication by fax for time stamping.

But even that is getting out of fashion.

Well, they'd better find alternatives, as the days for the last remaining fax machines are numbered.

This from Ofcom (UK regulator):

"Following our consultation last year, we’re confirming changes to our rules meaning telecoms providers will no longer be required to provide fax services to their customers."

@mhd
I get plenty of spam/phishing in German, too. Spanish, Russian, French and Dutch make appearances, too. I'm so pleased that spam is so international.
