Malware rides the wave of 2008 Beijing Olympics
Alert di Microsoft® Malware Protection Center
“… The great anticipation that awaited the Olympics is matched by the anticipation for malware to make use of the event to infect users. The first executable malware taking advantage of this event has also arrived. The malware is disguised as a screen saver named "2008BeijingOlympics.scr".
When you run the program, it actually displays some nice pictures of some of the Olympic Stadiums, so people may not notice the payload of installing a keylogger onto their computers…”
Il keylogger TrojanDropper:Win32/Jingbay.A è nascosto nello screen saver “2008BeijingOlympics.scr”.
Una volta lanciato il programma, vengono visualizzate "simpatiche" immagini degli Stadi Olimpici di Pechino ma l'ignaro utente non sa che viene eseguito anche un keylogger nel proprio computer!
La solita raccomandazione: cautela, cautela, cautela!
