TrickBot is a sophisticated banking Trojan operated by an organized cybercrime gang. Users infected with the TrickBot Trojan becomes part of a botnet that can allow attackers to gain complete control of the device.
Typical consequences of TrickBot infections are bank account takeover, high-value wire fraud, and possibly ransomware attacks targeting organizational networks. Mainly financially motivated cyber-attacks.

DocuSign themes used by Trickbot

Sample email US-DoL.eml, contains three attachments: uslogo.png, faq.png, and Family and Medical Leave of Act 22.04.doc.
As first two attachments were just image files and the third one “Family and Medical Leave of Act 22.04.doc” asks users to enable macros ((ThisDocument.cls), to drops the bat file into the user machine location ”C:\Test\terop.bat”.

Using the cURL utility, the terop.bat file attempts to download an executable from what appears to be a hijacked or compromised domain: hxxps://www.omegasystemsuae[.]com/9hfudnsfl.exe .The file is set to be written to %APPDATA%\Bio_Tecs.exe.
Terop.bat contains TIMEOUT /T 30 and ping 8.8.8.8 commands to evade detection and delay execution.
