A Malware cyber attack is definible as a hostile activity against a system, a tool, an application or an element that has a computer component. It is an activity that aims to obtain a benefit for the attacker at the expense of the attacked.
Today we report a real example of the spread of malware, a case that occurred in these days to users of Gmail and Google accounts.
SHARPEXT malware spies, targets Google account holders and can read / download their personal emails and attachments. The malicious software appears to work from Edge and Chrome browser extensions, suitably designed by the hacker group Kimsuky (North Koreans).
The malicious SHARPEXT software has been around for almost a year. The extension is able to maintain its presence, even after the attack has been launched.
Unlike other malicious browser extensions, SHARPEXT is not meant to steal user credentials. Conversely, the extension steals information from victims' email inboxes.
Hackers deploy the extension manually via a VBS script, which can replace browser favorites files.
To avoid such a Malware attack, We recommend that you refrain from granting unnecessary permissions to apps and verify its authenticity by checking developer information, reading reviews, and reviewing their privacy policies.
While Malware attacks are potentially very dangerous, you can do a lot to prevent them by minimizing risks and keeping your data, money and… dignity safe.
