Reader Carlos submitted an email with an attachment. It's a phishing email, the attachment is an HTML file, although the criminals try to make the recipient believe that it is a PDF file.

In this video, I show how you can use my tool oledump.py to extract the attachment from the email (.msg file) for further analysis, without requiring Outlook (or Windows). I give a couple of simple tips to find the phishing URL(s) quickly.

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
