Good day everyone!
Today's #readoftheday involves Microsoft Office add-ins, masquerading, trojans, and MUCH MORE! Kaspersky researchers share the details about a project on SourceForge that was distributing malware. It appeared to be a project for Microsoft Office add-ins, that were copied from a legitimate project on GitHub, but in reality was a list of Microsoft Office applications that led to an archive that contained an installer file (.msi). Once that is run, a bunch of bad stuff happens (I'm not going to ruin it for you) and then you are left with a miner and the #ClipBanker malware that replaces cryptocurrency wallet addresses in the clipboard with the attacker's own, which is pretty interesting as well! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Happy Hunting!
