Cybercriminals are using a Windows Advanced Installer tool to drop cryptocurrency-mining malware, says Cisco's Talos.
Hackers have been using a Windows tool to drop cryptocurrency-mining malware since November 2021,to an analysis from Cisco's Talos Intelligence. The attacker exploits Windows Advanced Installer — an application that helps developers package other software installers, such as Adobe Illustrator — to execute malicious scripts on infected machines.
The attacks predominantly affect users in France and Switzerland, with a few infections in other countries, including the United States, Canada, Algeria, Sweden, Germany, Tunisia, Madagascar, Singapore and Vietnam, the post notes based on DNS request data sent to the attacker’s command and control host.
