Massive Subway UK phishing attack is pushing TrickBot malware
By
08:41 AM
A massive phishing campaign pretending to be a Subway order confirmation is underway distributing the notorious TrickBot malware.
TrickBot is a trojan malware infection commonly distributed through phishing campaigns or installed by other malware.
Even worse, TrickBot partners with ransomware operators, such as Ryuk, to access a compromised network to deploy ransomware.
Subway phishing campaign is highly targeted
Today, BleepingComputer was alerted by security researcher TheAnalyst of a new phishing campaign pretending to be Subway order confirmations targeting people from the United Kingdom.
What is concerning about these phishing emails is that they include the user s first name, and some users are reporting they are being sent to emails only used for Subway. This attack may indicate a data breach at Subway UK that allowed the threat actors to gain access to customer s names and email addresses.
