Make Use Of (MUO) reported:
CrowdStrike identified a scam making the rounds that uses the latest outage as part of its bait. As described on the CrowdStrike blog, scammers took a copy of Microsoft's advice on how to fix a computer affected by CrowdStrike. They then pasted it into a Word document and added a Word macro designed to download the Daolpu malware onto the target PC. They then email the infected Word document to people in hopes of getting a catch.
When someone receives the email with the infected Word document, they download it to learn how to fix the CrowdStrike bluescreen error. If they enable Word macros, the Daolpu malware downloads onto the victim's PC. From here, Daolpu steals cookies and login details from the victim's browser and sends them back to the scammer.
