Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to inform everyone concerning a new round of virus attacks that I think you should be on the lookout for that you may or may not be seeing.
There have been a number of malspam messages in circulation that are focusing on delivering malware through false video codecs; while this is not a new approach used by hackers, they have stepped up their methods in terms of volume and complexity to a degree in which the messages are evading anti-spam filters.
The latest involves several fake Paris Hilton videos which the malware binary is a variation of a Trojan known as Exchanger that was involved recently in the CNN and MSNBC attacks.
I have posted full details on our blog including screen-shots and nessasary details of this malware, it’s recommended you block stream.exe at your gateway to avoid variations that may not look like spam (i.e. CNN Alerts, etc).
Anybody else seeing this attack?
Note: this is not intended to promote our blog, rather to bring awareness to particular issues we are seeing.
