This DLL is the TrickBot trojan that, when executed, will download further modules to the infected computer to steal files, passwords, security keys, spread laterally throughout the network, and allow other threat actors to install ransomware. Due to this, a TrickBot trojan can be a devastating infection regardless of whether you are a corporate victim or a home user.This isn't the first time that Trickbot attracted the attention of the security community in 2020. In mid-April, for instance, Microsoft revealed that the malware had thus far been the most pervasive malware operation to exploit the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic as a theme. In one of those attacks, the threat had leveraged hundreds of macro-laden documents that had pretended to originate from a non-profit offering a free COVID-19 test. The latest Trickbot distribution campaign highlights the need for organizations to defend themselves against phishing attacks. One of the ways they can do this is by educating their employees about some of the most common types of phishing campaigns that are in circulation today. This resource provides an excellent starting point.
