The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) warns that cybercriminals are using a tax refund phishing campaign to push a variant of the notorious ZeuS banking trojan.
Like in most phishing attacks of this sort, the fake emails purport to come from the taxation agency, in this case ATO, and tell recipients they are eligible to receive a tax refund.
Users are instructed to open the attached file called "Restore your account.zip" and fill out the form inside.
However, the archive doesn't only contain an HTML phishing form for inputting financial details, but also an installer for the ZeuS trojan.
