What is IRS Online asstmanager@jacktree.com Scam?
If you do not want to face a malicious Trojan, IRS Online asstmanager@jacktree.com Scam is the one to look out for. It is important to mention that the email address attached to the scam could be different in your case. One other example is allenyoon@hanmiinc.com. The subject line could be adjusted too. Cyber schemers need to be smart about how they approach victims, and if they continue to use the same addresses, subject lines, and even the messages themselves, they are unlikely to succeed as much. The ever-changing scams make it much harder for security experts to catch them and warn users in time. Unfortunately, the consequences can be dire. If you are not careful and fall for the scam, you might let in malware without even knowing it. According to our research, some victims find that they need to remove IRS Online asstmanager@jacktree.com Scam-related Trojans. One of them is the vicious Emotet Trojan. If you continue reading, you will learn how to recognize the scam and delete malware.
How does IRS Online asstmanager@jacktree.com Scam work?
As you know – if you have encountered it already – the IRS Online asstmanager@jacktree.com Scam is meant to be extremely deceptive. It was created to trick gullible victims into thinking that the email message is legitimate and that a file attachment must be downloaded and opened. In some cases, the email message might also include telephone numbers (e.g., 1-800-276-5769 or 1-866-824-8183) that, allegedly, can help you contact the IRS. This is a complete lie, and if you call the numbers, you will call schemers, who will try to extract as much personal information as they can. Of course, the main goal behind the email is to trick you into opening the attached document. Our tested sample pushed a seemingly harmless DOC file, but schemers can use other kinds of files too. According to the message, the file is sent by IRS Treasury Department, and that should be enough to make you open it. Instead, you should delete it immediately. If you remove the message, you will evade great danger. If you open it and then open the attached file, you are likely to let in a dangerous computer infection.
As a matter of fact, malware will not be executed the moment you open the attachment. First, you will need to enable macros. The “This document created in online version of Microsoft Office Word” message will show up, and then you will be asked to “Enable content.” Whatever you do, do not enable anything because that will lead to the infiltration of Emotet or another malicious threat. This is done silently by entering a command – which is encoded in Base64 – and then downloading the threat. If we are talking about Emotet (the infection that was downloaded in our case), it can assign a unique name and location every time, which makes detecting and deleting this threat quite difficult. The guide below provides a list of locations this malware could hide in, but we cannot promise that you will be able to find and delete it yourself. However, if you do not remove Emotet, it will download and execute other infections (most likely, banking Trojans) that could steal sensitive information. Of course, all kinds of malware could be linked to the IRS Online asstmanager@jacktree.com Scam, and so if you have recently opened suspicious emails from IRS, you must scan your operating system ASAP.
