Read more below:A new variant of trojan malware popular with cyber criminals is spreading via malicious Word documents with the aim of stealing bank details and other useful personal information.
The Ursnif trojan targets Windows machines and has existed in one form or another since at least 2007 when its code first emerged in the Gozi banking trojan. Several different variants of the malware have emerged since the code was leaked, as attackers take it and add their own custom capabilities for stealing banking details and other online account credentials.
Now researchers at cybersecurity firm Fortinet have identified a new version of Ursnif in the wild which is spreading via phishing emails containing weaponised Word documents. These infected lures are named with a "info_[date].doc" format and claim that the document has been created in a previous version of Word, requiring the user to enable macros to see it.
