Pretty straight forward. This new malware takes advantage of the viewer function in Googledocs and retrieves the resources of another URL to display it instead. Anytime you access Googledocs server it is encrypted using HTTPS making it close to impossible to block it locally. This first variant is seen as a RTF (Rich Text Format) document and Microsoft Word files targeting mainly Brazil at the moment.
