Zeus Sphinx malware resurrects to abuse COVID-19 fears>
ZD Net – Charlie Osborne
Spam emails claiming to hold the secret to novel coronavirus cures, texts and phone calls from operators pretending to be utilities and banks impacted by the respiratory illness, and fake coronavirus-preventing products are being listed through online marketplaces in response to the outbreak, of which case numbers have reached 723,000 at the time of writing. On Monday, IBM X-Force said that Zeus Sphinx — also known as Zloader or Terdot — has been spotted in campaigns launched in March that focus on government relief payments. The researchers said that Zeus Sphinx is being spread through phishing campaigns loaded with malicious files named “COVID 19 relief.” Emails claim that a form must be filled out to receive funds to tie the people over that are now having to stay at home rather than work during the outbreak.
