Fake Bitdefender website used to spread infostealer malware (Daryna Antoniuk – The Record)

Cybercriminals are using a fake Bitdefender antivirus website to spread the VenomRAT malware in a campaign aimed at stealing people’s credentials for financial accounts, according to new research. The attackers created a website that closely mimics Bitdefender’s legitimate Windows download page. Victims are infected after clicking a seemingly authentic “Download for Windows” button, which delivers a malicious archive. The archive contains executable files configured to deploy VenomRAT, which is used for remote access, keylogging and data exfiltration.
