Trustwave has warned of new attacks on Windows users to steal data. Attackers use Vidar spyware and distribute it through fake emails from Microsoft Support.

Vidar may collect OS and user data, online service account data, and credit card information.

The report states that the attackers sent a virus hidden in an HTMLHelp format file. Typically, such documents contain information on certain issues. However, when the file is executed, the malicious app.exe document will be unpacked.

Experts urge users to be careful when opening documents that come from unknown sources.
