Beware of Thanksgiving eCard Emails Distributing Malware

Malware distributors are sending holiday themed emails to distribute the Emotet Trojan and other malware. With Thanksgiving being celebrated in the U.S., the hopes is that holiday themed lures coupled with the holiday business closures will make users slip and open the attachments. Malicious Word docs contain obfuscated macros that will download malware from a remote host or extract it from an embedded payload. If a user opens the malicious Word document they will be presented with a screen stating that they need to “Enable Content”” or “”Enable Editing”” to properly view it.”
