According to Kaspersky, malware is distributed using a fake installer Windows 11.
Η security company cites an example of malware contained in a file labeled "86307_windows 11 build 21996.1 x64 + activator.exe", Which increased the file size to 1,75 GB using «a DLL file that contains a lot of junk informationTo create the illusion that it was a legitimate installation tool Windows 11. This illusion has been extended beyond the size of the executable file.
Η Kaspersky says that opening this file displays a series of installers that look like "a standard Windows installation wizard", Accompanied by a license agreement, which states" that it will also install some sponsored software ". Which is true in a sense, only in this case the add-on in question is a malware and not a pre-installed version of a game like Candy Crush.
The installed malware «can be very widespread - from relatively harmless adware, which our programs call non-virus, to full Trojans, password thieves, vulnerabilities and other nasty things", Says the company. It is not clear if some of these files will eventually install Windows 11 or if they leave all the victims with the existing version of Windows.
Η Kaspersky says its security software "have already defeated several hundred infection attempts that have used this method». The company advises computer users who wish to use the Windows 11 before their official release to participate in Windows Insider Program - which is currently the only legal way to install the operating system - instead of downloading third party files from unknown sources.
