The Rietspoof malware was first discovered by Avast researchers in August 2018 and publicly disclosed in a blog post in February 2019.
The multi-stage malware utilises different file types throughout its infection chain including in one stage a CAB file. Full details of the malware, including later discoveries, were revealed in a VB2019 paper by Avast researchers Jan Sirmer, Luigino Camastra and Adolf Středa.
Today we publish the researchers' paper in both HTML and PDF format, as well as the recording of the presentation given by Jan and Luigino in London.
