Panda Security's weekly report on viruses and intruders
[Sinowal.WRN is a Trojan that collects all possible information from computers. By making a series of registry entries it goes resident on the system, gathering and sending all the data it finds. It reaches users in an email claiming that there is an H1N1 virus vaccination program and that everyone should register their personal details for monitoring purposes. The email includes a link to download the electronic document needed to create the personal vaccine profile. You can see an example of the message at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/panda_s...y/4154977193/] [Banbra.GLS is a banker Trojan designed to steal bank details of users that access certain Brazilian bank websites. It arrives in a file which, when run, displays a browser window with a spoof image of a PayPal invoice. This image is available at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/panda_s...y/4155738210/] [TDSS.CZ is a Trojan which can reach users as an attachment to an email. This file is called flashupdate, and it has a typical installer icon. This is designed to trick users into installing the supposed update. When the file is run, the only thing that users will notice is that the file disappears. Yet it hasn't really disappeared, it has just been hidden (as it has rootkit characteristics). The process is still running however, transparently to users and to the system. The file then takes a series of actions to modify the system. Whenever the user opens a Web page, before it loads, the following page appears: http://www.flickr.com/photos/panda_s...y/4155776202/] Virus Alerts, by Panda Security (http://www.pandasecurity.com)
