With it being Black Friday, everyone is out getting whatever bargains they can find. It also appears that a very nasty strain of malware has also been released and, if on your computer, allows criminals to access everything on your computer.
The ZIP file, attached in an email sent to random email inboxes disguised as a harmless email from iTunes, allows criminals to view all of your sensitive data including passwords and credit card details.
Eleven security believes that the malware was released to take advantage of Black Friday shoppers because people will be looking online more than usual making it easier for your credit card details to be stolen.
This malware is only dangerous to Windows PCs, but can be stopped with anti-spyware software so make sure yours is updated!
