Water Curupira Hackers Launch Pikabot Malware Attack Windows

The threat group Water Curupira has been launching Pikabot malware attacks on Windows machines. The phishing campaigns for the Pikabot malware have surged following the takedown of Qakbot. The malware is usually delivered through spam email campaigns that employ deceptive tactics, such as password-protected ZIP files or PDFs. Once these malicious attachments are opened, the malware is activated and the hacker gains remote access. Researchers suggest that users can protect themselves by verifying sender identity, avoiding clicking on suspicious links, and keeping their systems updated.
