Disclosure Harmful software disguised as a message from the Security Service of Ukraine
Hackers send emails disguised as messages from the Security Service of Ukraine. This was reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation.
According to the government response team CERT-UA, more than 100 infected computers have already been detected, including those belonging to government agencies and local governments. The State Committee for Special Communications reported this.
The emails contain a link to download a file called Documents. But in fact, this link downloads a file that activates the malicious software ANONVNC, allowing attackers to gain hidden, unauthorized access to the victim’s computer.
The State Committee for Special Communications notes that urgent measures have already been taken to reduce the risk of a cyber threat.
