Fake CrowdStrike Installers Target German Users
1. CrowdStrike warns of a spear-phishing campaign using fake installers after the Falcon Sensor update crash.
2. A fake website distributing a malicious CrowdStrike Crash Reporter installer was created a day after the update issue.
3. Attackers used JavaScript disguised as JQuery to download and deobfuscate the installer, requiring a password for further action.
4. The installer, localized in German, targeted specific entities by prompting users to enter a "Backend-Server" password.
5. This campaign coincides with other phishing attacks spreading stealer and wiper malware like Lumma and Connecio.
