Last weekend we detected a wave of spam messages used to distribute malware, emails that are still in circulation.
It’s an attack mainly aimed at car owners, as the subject of these emails is about some changes in the car tax.
It can reach the computer with any of the following subjects, among others:
***BULK*** Adjustment in the automobile fee.

***BULK*** Switch in the car fee.

The email is like the following:
In a somewhat “rudimentary†English we are informed that the “ministry of transport†is going to make changes in the car tax and we are advised to read the attached document carefully.
The attached file called CAR_DOCUMENTATION.zip, once decompressed, contains a file that has been detected as Trj/Sinowal.WZZ. This Trojan family is mainly designed to steal confidential information.
As we always say in these cases, be cautious, don’t trust this type of messages and above all have common sense.
