Cyber criminals attach an infected file to an email, which gets sent to hundreds or even thousands of users. It’s not really surprising that users open the attachments, seeing as cyber criminals occasionally put in a decent amount of work to make the emails quite convincing, sometimes mentioning money and similar sensitive topics, which users are likely to panic about.

Your name would be automatically put in into an email if the sender was from a company whose email should be opened. Big company names like Amazon are often used because people know of them, therefore are more likely to open the emails.
