Fake ProtonVPN Website Distributes AZORult Malware

ProtonVPN website distributes AZORult Malware since November 2019 to potential victims in the form of fake ProtonVPN installers, as discovered by Kaspersky security researchers. This was being used to steal users information.

ProtonVPN is a Virtual Private Network (VPN) service provider built and controlled by Proton Technologies AG, the Swiss business behind the encrypted end-to-end email service ProtonMail.

AZORult is an ever-evolving, data-stealing Trojan selling on Russian underground markets for approximately $100, also known as a downloader for other malware families when used in multi-stage campaigns.

Researchers previously spotted this trojan as part of large-scale malicious campaigns that spread ransomware, data, and cryptocurrency stealing malware.
