Do not download, delete the email

Once the recipient clicks the link it will take them to a file download that will allow the hacker to seize control of the user’s device.  The hacker will then be able to hold the user’s device hostage and demand a ransom or exploit access to the users’ system leading to further damage, compromised accounts, or injection of worms (viruses that infect the host machine and use it to launch attacks on others).
