A study conducted around June last year revealed a malware-based fraud ring that infiltrated one of Brazil’s most popular payment methods – the Boleto Bancário, or simply the boleto.

The boleto malware campaign had a reported potential loss of US$3.75 billion. The recent detections we found comprise malicious Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome extensions cleverly installed in victims’ machines. Spammed messages with fake threats of debt that must be paid to governments are used to get users to install these extensions.
