QakNote Campaign Leverages OneNote to Infect Victims with QBot
A large-scale QakNote campaign is ongoing that drops QBot banking trojan on systems via malicious Microsoft OneNote attachments. The phishing emails contain OneNote files that have an embedded HTML application (HTA file) that retrieves the QBot malware payload. The adoption signals “a much more automated, streamlined fashion” as opposed to previous small-scale malware attacks.
