Firefox Banking Scam HoeflerText on the Loose
Once again, a malicious scam campaign, “The ‘HoeflerText’ font wasn’t found” is on the loose.
The scam previously targeted Google Chrome users to trick them into installing Spora ransomware. Now, the scam is targeting Firefox users with a banking trojan called Zeus Panda.
When landing on a suspicious website with jumbled content, Firefox will prompt you to update the font package by downloading a missing text font to read the article. It’s a trap.
Once clicked, it downloads a ZIP file, prompting the user to run a JavaScirpt file. If done, the computer will be infected with the banking trojan.
