Be aware! Microsoft warns of "prolific" Trickbot malware exploiting COVID-19 crisis

Microsoft has warned that cyber criminals are taking advantage of the ongoing coronavirus crisis to trick users into downloading malware onto their devices.

In a statement on Twitter, Microsoft Security Intelligence said that hackers are posing as the “Usa Volunteer Organization” and the “Usa Humanitarian Group” and are sending out hundreds of emails offering free COVID-19 medical advice and testing.

Each email aims to install the Trickbot malware using “unique macro-laced” document attachments.
