Researchers at Fortinet have uncovered a new Remcos RAT campaign – with the new variant titled "2.5.0 Pro" according to hard coded strings in the malicious code which was compiled in September – indicating the freshness of this variant.
These attacks begin with an attempt to trick the victim into opening a malicious ZIP file under the pretence of payments being made into a bank account. The phishing email users spoofing to make it look as if it comes from a valid domain.
The .ZIP file is a gateway to a .TXT extension which runs a PowerShell script when activated, executing the installation of the malware onto the victim's Windows machine.
