Yes!

Symantec is detecting it as Downloader.Upatre!gen9 and the attachment is named bash seedtime.zip.

Subject: [SECURITY] Phishing emails about "Invoice"

Hello Everyone – we’ve seen an uptick in phishing emails with ransomeware attachments with the word “invoice” in the 
subject, with other text describing the invoice. Has anyone else seen this same uptick? Looks to be Tesla 2.2.0.

Thanks!
