The National Gendarmerie alert users on the Dridex dangerousness of malware, which since last June via unsolicited emails (spam), infected 28,000 computers with the Microsoft operating system, Windows XP to Windows 8.1.

A corrupted email with an attachment from a Word document, Excel or PDF named “Invoice” or “invoice” contaminates the computer station attacked in the wake of the activation of macros.

A malware and installs in stride to take remote control of the machine remotely. When the user of the infected computer connects to its online banking, the malware directly transmits all the information necessary to carry out fraudulent money transfers.

To reduce the risk, do not open attachments from a spammed message disable macros, install anti-malware software and check the transactions made on your bank accounts.
