Email sample containing a .zipx attachment (Source: Trustwave)
A new malware spam email campaign is delivering the NanoCore remote access Trojan as a malicious Adobe icon to infect its victims, a new report by security firm Trustwave finds.
The campaign begins with the attackers sending an email with an attachment called "NEW PURCHASE ORDER.pdf*.zipx." The attachment is an Adobe image file in RAR format, which, when unzipped using WinRAR or 7-Zip, downloads the NanoCore Trojan onto the victims' device.
"The motive behind the campaign is to hide the malicious executable from anti-malware and email scanners by abusing the file format of the ".zipx" attachment, which in this case is an Icon file with added surprises," the report notes.
