Fake payroll desktop apps hand attackers control of the PC

Help Net Security· 25 Sep

Allure Security found an attacker offering desktop apps for three large US payroll and HR platforms that do not make one. The installer shows a genuine Microsoft installer finishing, while quietly adding ScreenConnect, a legitimate remote access tool, set up for hidden, unattended access. The lure pages were built with Lovable, an AI app builder, and hosted on Vercel.

  • Tell whoever runs payroll to install software only from the provider's own website, never from a link or an ad.
  • Check your computers for remote access tools you did not install, such as ScreenConnect, and remove them.
