In a new blog post from Proofpoint security researchers their recent detection of a very high volume of phishing emails spreading the Dridex banking Trojan is analysed.
The post explains that over the space of three days in late October, Proofpoint detected hundreds of thousands of phishing emails with malicious Microsoft Word attachments. Automated analysis followed by additional examination by their threat analysts revealed that these documents contained malicious macros that downloaded an executable that would in turn download and install Dridex.
