It’s tax season and attackers are capitalizing on that with this phishing email: 

Accounting and tax software provider Intuit has notified customers of
an ongoing phishing campaign impersonating the company and trying to
lure victims with fake warnings that their Turbo Tax (Intuit) accounts have been
suspended.

Intuit’s alert follows reports received from customers who were
emailed and told that their Intuit accounts were “disabled following a
recent server security upgrade”

Email Typically Reads:

“We have temporarily disabled your account due to inactivity. It is
compulsory that you restore your access within the next 24 hours,”
the attackers say in the phishing messages, masquerading as the
Intuit Maintenance Team. “This is a result of recent security upgrade
on our server and database, to fight against vulnerability and
account theft as we begin the new tax season.”

A new phishing campaign is installing the BazarLoader/BazarBackdoor trojan through malicious CSV files. BazarBackdoor is a stealthy backdoor malware created to provide threat actors remote access to an internal device that can be used as a springboard for further lateral movement within a network. The phishing emails pretend to be “Payment Remittance Advice” with links to remote sites that download a CSV file with names similar to “document-21966.csv.”
