This has all the symptoms of a spam/phishing e-mail, which will encrypt your files and then try to ransom them. The main difference is that there is no link in the e-mail, but an attachment called invoice.zip. No modern organization sends out official documents in a *.zip container, since that is considered unsafe and telltale sign of a phishing e-mail. Invoices and documents are almost exclusively sent out in the *.pdf format.
If it is anything else, you need to be extra careful!
To summarize, you need to ask yourself the following questions in order to identify spam or phishing:
- Do I know the sender? Was the message sent from an official e-mail address (@ut.ee)? Can I verify the sender's e-mail address?
- Was I expecting this e-mail?
- Are the extensions of the files attached to the e-mail known to me (i.e .pdf, *.docx, *.doc, *xls, *xlsx)?
- Is the e-mail's subject official and uses correct spelling and grammar?
- Is the content of the e-mail related to my work or my organization?
- Does the content of the e-mail use correct spelling and grammar?
If the answer to any of the questions above "NO", then you should be extra careful!
