Instead of a list, the recipient opens an archive containing malware. According to Kaspersky Lab experts, the main purpose of the attackers is to spy, steal documents or data to gain access to corporate mailboxes. The scam campaign began on March 13, but Kaspersky Lab reported it on the 17th, as the organization’s experts discovered several hundred malicious emails in four days.
