Malicious CVs and medical leave forms are infecting users with banking malware<\/strong><\/p>\n

Security researchers have discovered malicious files masquerading as CVs online that lure victims into giving up their banking passwords and other financial information.<\/p>\n

According to Check Point<\/a>, the malicious Microsoft Excel files were sent via email with subject lines such as “applying for a job” or “regarding job”. When victims open the attached files, they are asked to “enable content” and this allows for the ZLoader malware<\/a> to be installed on their computers. This banking malware is designed to steal credentials and other private information from users of targeted financial institutions.<\/p>\n
