Les Mills Invoice goods/services lmuk.accounts@lesmills.com malware

Les Mills Invoice goods/services lmuk.accounts@lesmills.com macro based malware being spammed out.

The Word document has a random attachment, however these emails aren't from Les Mills at all, they just being used to make the email look more genuine, ie. from a real company.

It's also worth remembering that the company itself  may not have any knowledge of this email and it's link(s) or attachment as it won't have come from their servers and IT systems but from an external bot net.

It's not advised to ring them as there won't really be anything they can do to help you.

Sanesecurity signatures are blocking this as: Sanesecurity.Malware.24679.DocHeur.

NOTE

The current round of Word and Excel attachments are targeted at Windows users.

Apple and Android software can open these attachments and may even manage to run the macro embedded inside the attachment.

The auto-download file is normally a windows executable and so will not currently run on  any operating system, apart from Windows.

However, if you are an Apple/Android user and forward the message to a Windows user, you will them put them at risk of opening the attachment and auto-downloading the malware.

Currently these attachments try to auto-download Dridex, which is designed to steal login information regarding your bank accounts (either by key logging, taking auto-screens hots or copying information from your clipboard (copy/paste))
Cheers,

Steve

If you opened the document on a windows machine, using an old version of Microsoft Office or enabled macros, I'd do a virus scan using one of the links on menu bar at the top of the blog.

This definitely doesn't affect iPhones right? I opened the doc and got a blank page, nothing more. Then being skeptical, i deleted the email from my inbox & junk folder.

If you are using an iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry device and open the word/excel document then you should be ok as macro's don't run in those devices, but don't forward to any Windows users as it could infect them
