Body of email starts with Hello,

and shows me in Seat 57E, boarding in Zone 1 tomorrow at 10:25AM, arriving in Virginia Beach.

Message was from [email protected]

Called Delta and was told that "they had been spammed yesterday" and all credit card numbers are safe, but if I was concerned I should change my password.

Problem is, they sent it to an email address Delta doesn't have.

Anyone else receive this? And no, I didn't open the zip file.
I receive so many spoof emails that could contain viruses that I lost count. It may not even be from the spam incident that you mentioned. They probably just picked up your email address from some list. I just received an email from a major delivery company indicating that I have a package to pick up and it had a "confirmation" attached to it. I have never registered with this company. If all smells fishy, just delete.
