Fake Black Lives Matter voting campaign spreads Trickbot malware

A phishing email campaign asking you to vote anonymously about Black Lives Matter is spreading the TrickBot information-stealing malware. The TrickBot has evolved to perform a variety of malicious behavior, including stealing saved credentials in browsers, stealing cookies and OpenSSH keys, stealing RDP, VNC, PuTTY Credentials, and more. TrickBot also partners with ransomware operators, such as Ryuk, to give access to a compromised network to deploy ransomware. It is important to remember that malware developers and distributors commonly become more active during significant moments in history and political unrest.
