The notorious TrickBot malware mistakenly left a test module that is warning victims that they are infected and should contact their administrator.

In a recent release of the TrickBot malware analyzed by Advanced Intel's Vitali Kremez, the threat actors are mistakenly distributing a test version of their password-stealing grabber.dll module.

When loaded, this module displays a warning in the default browser stating that the program is gathering information and that the victim should ask their system administrator.
