For the uninitiated, Dridex is a deadly banking malware that leverages macros in Microsoft Office to infect systems.
It is this word document that was infected by the anonymous hacker with a copy of Avira antivirus.
This was revealed by Aviras Lyle Frink who noted this strange phenomenon on theAviras blog.
In the blog, Frink denied any involvement in the hack.
According to Frink, the events unfolding are strange, but simple.
Instead of malware, incautious users are being duped into downloading free and legal copies of Avira anti-virus.
