As with COVID-19, cybercriminals are jumping on the biggest news of the day to try to steal people’s money.
It’s hardly the most sophisticated attack, just about mysterious enough to catch out at least some folks interested in the movement. If any curious party clicks on the attached file it ends up installing a dangerous Microsoft Windows malware known as TrickBot.
“From what I see is that the spam campaign was pretty big, apparently hitting US mailboxes,” a spokesperson from abuse.ch told. “Historically, TrickBot is an e-banking trojan. However, these days TrickBot is heavily used by various threat actors to install additional malware on the victim's computer. In corporate networks, this usually leads to Ransomware such as Ryuk.
Practising good cyber hygiene should help protesters trying to stay safe online in these trying times. In this case, that means being suspicious of any emails asking you to click on attachments, especially if they’re from unknown sources.
