You’d be surprised how often nation-states use essentially phishing scams.

Really?

You two are questioning someone who subscribes to Nanog over Fedex?
You really think it's more likely that someone is targeting Dan Hollis

Phishing scheme didn't happen.

fedex has had a number of major compromises so it's not a stretch that
their user database was stolen and sold to spammers.


The other possibility is that your one-off email scheme is predictable, and someone knows you use FedEx, and that 
someone is targeting specifically you, and this obvious phishing email is a red herring for the exploit you didn't 
see.

Be concerned.
