A new malspam campaign is underway that pretends to be shipping documents and contains an attachment that installs the DarkComet remote access Trojan. When DarkComet is installed, the malware has the ability to log your keystrokes, application usage, take screenshots, and more.

BleepingComputer was first alerted to this campaign by security researcher Vishal Thakur who spotted the email and analyzed the malware. These emails will have subjects that are similar to "Shipping docs#330" and pretend to be shipping documents awaiting the recipient's approval.

While running, the attacker can also connect to your computer to execute commands, chat with you, take screenshots of your active windows, and perform other activities. This could then allow them to see sensitive images or documents, which could then be used against you.
