A new phishing campaign distributes ZLoader malware using advanced delivery techniques that demonstrate sophisticated understanding of Microsoft Office document formats and techniques, the security firm Forcepoint X-Labs reports.
The phishing emails use an invoicing lure, but the message varies, perhaps dealing with a bill already processed or describing new taxation rules from the Internal Revenue Service, the researchers say.
