Is it possible, yes. I've seen it several times now at my place of work.
Targeted attacks are a thing.

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
(whoever he is) instead of Fedex leaving something else exposed?

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.
