A new Trojan hit inboxes this morning, masquerading as an update to Internet Explorer. The email arrives with a spoofed From address of either 'admin@microsoft.com' or 'admin@windows.com'. Subject line is 'Internet Explorer 7.0 Beta'. The message body is a graphic linked to a file on a remote website. If downloaded and run, that file attempts to download additional malicious software. Some antivirus vendors are tagging it as a trojan downloader (Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.bjo), others as a file infector (W32/Grum-B). As with most threats today, it also appears to have rootkit capabilities. |
