Check Point Research warns of dozens of infected applications on Microsoft’s official store.
Check Point Research has discovered new malware that is being actively distributed through gaming applications on Microsoft's official store.
The malware is also capable of SEO poisoning, an attack method in which threat actors create malicious Web sites and use search engine optimisation tactics to make them show up prominently in search results. As Electron-bot's payload is dynamically loaded, the malefactors can use the installed malware as a backdoor in order to gain total control on the target machine.Electron-bot starts by installing a seemingly-legitimate Microsoft store application. Once installed, the attacker downloads files and executes scripts.
