Hey everyone. @threatresearch here with a little news about how my day's been going.

Seems a lot of people are dealing with an outbreak of #BazarBackdoor that starts with an email that sounds like it's coming from someone who is annoyed you didn't report a complaint about you.
We received a LOT of samples of the same-looking email from people who, correctly, recognized this as a phishy-looking spam. The "complaint" was purportedly linked in the email to a PDF.

Narrator: It wasn't a PDF
Rather, the link leads to one of several pages hosted in Microsoft's cloud hosting space. The pages all looked like this one, with a link to download the "Preview PDF" but if you look closer at the link, you'll see it's an "ms-appinstaller:" link. That's new!
