⚠️Threat actors are taking advantage of the CrowdStrike BSOD bug to spread malware. ThreatLabz identified a lure that uses a Microsoft Word document that contains instructions on how to recover from the issue. However, the document contains a malicious macro that, when enabled, downloads a poorly detected information stealer from hxxp://172.104.160[.]126:8099/payload2.txt

Kudos to Check Point Research for continuing analysis and coverage of the malicious URL file ("Internet Shortcut File") space!
We appreciate the reference to InQuest's January report on what is effectively non-stop abuse of this file format over the years:

It's worth considering the significant attack surface in mainstream operating systems. Adversaries are adept at identifying these hidden features directly, borrowing information from researchers, and leveraging it in their attack campaigns. We encourage administrators to apply proactive hardening and attack surface reduction (ASR) configurations in their environment wherever possible.
InQuest offers a set of solutions that enable organizations to defend against complex file-based threats over common network entry paths like email, web, and file upload services. Increase your defensive posture by detecting and blocking suspicious files early, before they reach users and endpoints.
🚀 Meet Nick Chalard (@Autow00t), our detection engineer on the Threat Intelligence team at InQuest! 🌟 Nick's journey from intern to invaluable team member is truly inspiring. Check out his insights on detection engineering and YARA in our latest blog post. 🔍
