Another email campaign pretending to be Coronavirus (COVID-19) information from the World Health Organization (WHO) is distributing a malware downloader that installs the FormBook information-stealing Trojan.

With the fears of Coronavirus in full swing, malware distributors are preying on these fears by sending emails that pretend to be the latest updates on the Coronavirus disease outbreak.

These emails contain a ZIP file attachment and state it's from the 'World Health Organization' with information about the latest "Coronavirus Updates". When viewing this email in a mail client, they do not display very well as seen below.
