Brazilian Musician Christiano Araujo's Tragic Death Used To Spread Banking Malware
Cyber criminals spare no incident to target as many victims as possible,
and this time they are using Brazilian musician Christiano Araujo's
tragic death to spread a banking malware.
Following Cristiano Araújo's death, security firm Symantec observed
malicious spam emails promising to offer footage of the accident being
sent out to users in Brazil and Venezuela.
"If users click on the Google Drive URL found in the email, they will
end up downloading malware (detected as Downloader.Bancos)," Symantec
said in a blog post.
Once the Downloader.Bancos infects the computer, it will download a well known banking malware dubbed Infostealer.Bancos.
