Users of utilities that reclaim disk space should think twice if someone tries to get them to download BleachBit. Cybercriminals have created a web page that purports to be the official website of the tool, but instead spreads the AZORult information stealer.
Clean-looking impersonation
When designing the site, the bad actors paid attention to the general details and used the domain bleachbitcleaner[.]com - last updated on August 27 - in order to fool a lot of users into thinking it is the legitimate home of the utility.

They also created a webpage that looks appealing enough, despite having only one link available, the one leading to AZORult. This, along with the embedded video tutorial for a beta version of the program released in 2009, should ring some alarm bells.

Users falling for the trick will download a ZIP archive from Dropbox and when launched will automatically harvest a victim's data and upload it to the attacker's command and control servers.
