Description:
This memory-resident Trojan gathers and posts the following information to a particular site:
It also steals account information of any online transaction made through WEBMONEY and E-GOLD. It modifies the HOSTS file to prevent a user from upgrading antivirus pattern files. The said routine redirects the Internet browser to the local machine 127.0.0.1 every time certain Web sites are accessed.
This Trojan runs on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, and XP.
Damage potential: High
- System becomes unusable (e.g. flash bios, format HDD)
- System data or files are unrecoverable (e.g. encryption of data)
- System cannot be automatically recovered using tools
- Recovery requires restoring from backup- Causes large amounts of network traffic (packet flooders, mass-mailers)
- Data/files are compromised and sent to a third party (backdoor capabilities)
HOLY COW~~~
