[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 1014405, member: 7463"] Some variants will also use Microsoft Debug Information Assessor as a description. Visual Studio is a wonderful thing. As to the digital signature, a number of these were used, all of them invalidated within 24 hours. Just enough stuff going on to trick the novice (most of whom are convinced that Defender is Enough) into running a seemingly legitimate application. The beauty of the malware- all the dropper needs is a few hours of zero-day status as with the Defender exclusion will make the stealer invisible to Defender. Of course any 3rd party second opinion scanners will detect and eradicate the malware but the damage would be already done. [/QUOTE]
