New [F]Unicorn ransomware hits Italy via fake COVID-19 infection map

A new ransomware threat called [F]Unicorn has been encrypting computers in Italy by tricking victims into downloading a fake contact tracing app that promises to bring real-time updates for COVID-19 infections. The attacker used convincing social engineering that made it look like the malicious executable was delivered by the Italian Pharmacist Federation (FOFI). The attacker also cloned the FOFI website and registered a domain name similar to the original. However, they used fofl.it as the last character that is easily confused with the lowercase i used in the legitimate domain name.
