Friday, I wrote about a scam email I received asking for "donations" to the Red Cross via Bitcoin. The email wasn't hard to spot as a scam, and a victim not realizing this is a scam may not be familiar with Bitcoin either. So I replied to the email asking for alternatives. Interestingly, I did receive a reply:

Hello Johannes

 

We appreciate your worthy kindness on generously willing to donate to a noble cause. 

You are among the few who have chosen to write their name on the sand of time. 
 

We at ICRC love and appreciate you. With your gift of donation, you will be saving many souls in Ukraine. 

 

For Easiest Payment Kindly send your donation to this Paypal account: mrod71@hotmail.com

 

And send a Payment Slip for our documentation purposes.

 

Thank you.


Yours Faithfully,
Peter Maurer
(ICRC President)

The email address was reported to Paypal. Luckily, the Bitcoin part of the scam doesn't appear to work very well, with no additional money being received other than the very first transaction (maybe just a test?)

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.
