Advanced Banking Trojan Maverick Uses WhatsApp to Prey on Brazilian Users
The BlueVoyant Security Operations Center (SOC) and Threat Fusion Cell (TFC) researchers recently analyzed attacks of an adversary targeting users based in Brazil via WhatsApp. The attack lures users into downloading a zip archive. The zip archive contains a shortcut file (.lnk) which ultimately downloads and executes a banking trojan which BlueVoyant researchers have dubbed Maverick internally based off the naming convention used by the attackers.
