WHATSAPP users have been warned against a dangerous new malware campaign, which hopes to trick messenger users into installing an executable file.

Criminals hope to trick WhatsApp users into opening the email – and downloading the attached virus

Cybercriminals circulating malware have set their sights on WhatsApp users, researchers have discovered.
The malware is being distributed in emails, which look as if they have been sent from an official WhatsApp account, researchers at Comodo Labs have revealed.
Criminals hope to trick WhatsApp users into opening the email – and downloading the attached virus.
Messages from the criminals contain suggestive subject lines including, "you have obtained a voice notification", "an audio memo was missed", "a brief audio recording has been delivered" and "a short vocal recording was obtained".

Some WhatsApp users are being sent other notifications too, including a fake notification about a new video note, Comodo has confirmed.
None of these emails originate from a WhatsApp email address – but are "disguised with an umbrella branding", the security firm added.
Each of these malicious messages contains a compressed ZIP file, which will unleash the hidden malware inside.
The malware usually replicates itself into different system folders, adding itself into an auto-run in the computer’s registry.
