Cybercriminals have a new technique to get malicious emails through spam filters. The Trojan attachment is hidden within another attachment that pretends to be from a legitimate source such as Lloyds Bank.
Often, the message poses to enclose a ‘secure message’ from your bank, contained in an attachment that in reality contains a variety of different malware designed to infect your computer. This often begins with a variant of the Upatre Trojan, a kind of Trojan that can weaken systems for other malware to take effect. Attachments can also incorporate spyware to monitor logins or the Necurs malware, which disables security features and opens a back door for hackers.
Banks will never send important information in an email or attachment – legitimate messages will require you to go to the secure banking website and log in to access messages.
