The Microsoft Malware Protection Center (MMPC) is currently monitoring a spam email campaign that is using a wire transfer claim to spread
Trojan:Win32/Upatre.
It is important to note that customers running up-to-date
Microsoft security software are protected from this threat. Additionally, customers with
Microsoft Active Protection Service Community (MAPS) enabled also benefit from our
cloud protection service.
Upatre typically uses spam email campaigns to spread and then downloads other malware onto the infected PC. Emails in the latest spam campaign (as shown below) claim to have sent the recipient a wire transfer of "$35,292.00" and asks them to open the email attachment.
