Nasty Phishing Scam Pretends to Be Your HIV Test Results

A new phishing scam is pretending to be your HIV test results from Vanderbilt University. Scammers send phishing emails with malicious Excel spreadsheets that pretend to be HIV results. Malicious Excel Spreadsheet downloads and installs the Koadic penetration test and post-exploitation toolkit. Using the toolkit, the attackers gain complete control over the infected computer and can execute any command they wish, such as downloading further malware or stealing files. It is important to remember that medical institutions will never send medical results via ordinary email and will instead have you log in to a secure portal.
