The Maze Ransomware is conducting a new spam campaign that targets Italian users by pretending to be the country's Tax and Revenue Agency.

The Maze Ransomware is not a new infection, but within the past month it has been picking up steam with new campaigns, partnering with exploit kits, and inserting playful comments targeting researchers in their executables.

According to security researcher JAMESWT, users in Italy are being targeted with spam emails pretending to be from the Italian Revenue Agency, or the Agenzia delle Entrate, which is responsible for collecting taxes and revenue for the government.
