We have observed a new spam wave delivering Trickbot. This campaign uses spam mail with malicious attachments disguised as a Microsoft Excel file. The message contains fake payment notification, claiming to be from well-known banks or financial entities. When the .XLS attachment is opened, it asks users to enable macros. This then executes a PowerShell command to access a malicious link that downloads the Trickbot malware.
