Analysis Summary
Italian Windows users are being targeting by a spam campaign that is spreading the Dharma ransomware as the end payload. Researchers indicates the spam emails attempt to disguise themselves as invoice emails. In reality, the spam is being used to infect users with the Ursnif keylogger or the Dharma ransomware. The emails claim that the included URL is a link to invoice documents that need the reader’s approval. The URL references a OneDrive page where a file named “New documento 2.zip” is automatically downloaded as soon as the page is displayed. The zip file contains a Visual Basic script and an image file. Should the user execute the Visual Basic script, infection begins. BleepingComputer researchers observed that both Ursnif and Dharma were the final payloads, though not to the same victim.
