VERY IMPORTANT

Forcepoint Security Labs have recently observed a peculiar email campaign distributing a variant of the Dridex banking trojan. The campaign used compromised FTP sites instead of the more usual HTTP link as download locations for malicious documents, exposing the credentials of the compromised FTP sites in the process. The malicious emails were distributed just before 12:00 UTC on 17 January 2018 and remained active for approximately seven hours. The emails were sent primarily to .COM top level domains (TLDs) with the second, third and fourth top affected TLDs suggesting that major regional targets were France, the UK, and Australia respectively
