2. The user downloads and opens such a document, allowing macros to be executed during the process

3. The first stage of the malware is executed and the main load of the Trickbot is downloaded.

Comment by Alexander Chailytko, Cyber ​​Security, Research & Innovation Manager at Check Point Software Technologies,

"Τα νούμερα του Trickbot είναι συγκλονιστικά. Έχουμε καταγράψει πάνω από 140.000 μηχανές που στοχεύουν τους πελάτες μερικών από τις μεγαλύτερες και πιο αξιόπιστες εταιρείες στον κόσμο. Συνεχίσαμε να παρατηρούμε ότι οι δημιουργοί του Trickbot έχουν τις ικανότητες να προσεγγίζουν την ανάπτυξη κακόβουλου λογισμικού από πολύ χαμηλό επίπεδο και να δίνουν προσοχή σε μικρές λεπτομέρειες. Το Trickbot επιτίθεται σε θύματα υψηλού προφίλ για να κλέψει τα διαπιστευτήρια και να παρέχει στους χειριστές του πρόσβαση στις πύλες με ευαίσθητα δεδομένα, όπου μπορούν να προκαλέσουν ακόμη μεγαλύτερη ζημιά. Ταυτόχρονα, γνωρίζουμε ότι οι χειριστές που βρίσκονται πίσω από την εφαρμογή έχουν επίσης μεγάλη εμπειρία στην ανάπτυξη κακόβουλου λογισμικού σε υψηλό επίπεδο. Ο συνδυασμός αυτών των δύο παραγόντων είναι αυτός που επιτρέπει στο Trickbot να παραμένει μια επικίνδυνη απειλή εδώ για περισσότερό από 5 χρόνια. Προτρέπω τους χρήστες να ανοίγουν έγγραφα μόνο από αξιόπιστες πηγές και να χρησιμοποιούν διαφορετικούς κωδικούς πρόσβασης σε διαφορετικές τοποθεσίες στο δια".

Security tips
