Sextortion Emails now Leading to Ransomware and Info-Stealing Trojans

A new Sextortion email scam is tricking recipients into installing the Azorult information-stealing Trojan, which then downloads and installs the GandCrab ransomware. The downloaded zip file contains a executable that will install malware onto the computer. The emails then tell you to send them bitcoins or they will share the videos they made with all of your contacts.
