Microsoft official issued a warning today (July 3) that some users claimed that there is a high-risk worm virus on the market that is infecting hundreds of Windows enterprise networks. The

virus is called "Raspberry Robin" and can be spread through infected USB devices (such as USB flash drives). After the USB device is infected, a .lnk file will be generated. Once the user clicks on this file, Raspberry Robin will automatically create an msiexec.exe process and start another malicious file. After the malware is launched,

will communicate with the control server through a short URL command. After a successful connection, it will start downloading other malicious .dll files and connect to the TOR node.

Microsoft officials stated that the worm has been found in hundreds of Windows networks in multiple departments.

However, thankfully, although Raspberry Robin has infected a large number of devices, it has not yet done anything to threaten users, or exploit vulnerabilities to obtain sensitive information or deploy ransomware.

Microsoft stated that it is not yet clear which hacker group is responsible for this worm, nor is it clear what the purpose of the group is. However, considering the potential threat, Microsoft still marks it as a high-risk activity.
