Fake Bank of America Phishing Scam Installs Remote Access Malware

Cybercriminals are distributing phishing emails impersonating Bank of America to deceive users into downloading a malicious script that deploys ScreenConnect remote access software. This technique allows attackers to gain remote code execution and maintain persistent access to compromised systems.

Why it matters: Users and organizations relying on Bank of America services face credential theft and system compromise; defenders should block malicious scripts, monitor for ScreenConnect abuse, and educate employees on phishing indicators.
