New Formbook campaign via “partial payment”.

The email contains a compressed attachment in rar format with a COM executable file inside: the malware itself. This, if opened, starts the chain of infection. The goal of cybercrime is to steal sensitive data from victims. Formbook, in fact, through the keylogger function, is able to acquire everything the user types.
