  • NEW VIRUS ALERT ->Careto malware is frighteningly sophisticated

    The software, dubbed Careto, is a sophisticated suite of tools for compromising computers and collecting a wealth of information from them. Whoever is behind the malware sends out “spear phishing” e-mails, with addresses designed to be mistaken for the Web sites of mainstream newspapers, such as The Washington Post or the Guardian. If the user clicks on a link, it takes her to a Web site that scans her system for vulnerabilities and attempts to infect it. There are multiple versions of the malicious software designed to attack Windows, Mac OS X and Linux versions, and Kapersky believes there may be versions that attack iOS and Android.

    Once Careto has compromised a system, it begins collecting sensitive information from it. The software can “intercept network traffic, keystrokes, Skype conversations, analyse WiFi traffic, PGP keys, fetch all information from Nokia devices, screen captures and monitor all file operations.”

  • Bredo Banking Malware Campaign Targets Bank of America Customers

    Last month the researchers at AppRiver has noticed enormous volumes of traffic through their data centers, with the peaks of traffic reaching three or four times than their normal network traffic.

    They caught and blocked a malware campaign that was using the new and novel tactics designed specifically to beat the filtering engines.

    Last Wednesday the company experienced huge spam traffic i.e. 10 to 12 times the normal amount of their normal routine traffic. “These spikes have been driven by a tremendous increase in the number of incoming messages being sent with viruses attached.” and some user experienced delays in sending and receiving mail.

    They found the malware campaign, distributing a Financial Trojan designed to target, the Bank of America customers, known as ‘Bredo virus’, capable of stealing information such as Credit Card Numbers, Banking credentials, user’s keystrokes.

    AppRiver said that ‘The software may also have abilities to further infect a system by downloading more malware on to the machine’ and added that, ‘running through a variety of virus scanners showed that only 11 of 51 antivirus vendors were classifying it as malware.’

    The Bredo botnet was first detected in May 2009 and is capable of propagating through malicious e-mails that includes malware attachments which would infect a computer when opened, effectively turning the computer into another zombie controlled by the botnet.

    In October 2010, the Dutch law enforcement agents seized 143 LeaseWeb servers used as command & the control center of botnet, but were not able to successfully vanish it completely.

  • John McAfee ‘grateful’ Intel is dropping his name from ‘worst software on the planet’

    John McAfee

    John McAfee is glad that Intel is dropping his name from McAfee’s antivirus software. 

    The UpTake: Intel is dropping the McAfee name from the antivirus software brand. It’s infamous founder, John McAfee, couldn’t be happier.

    John McAfee is finally glad to be rid of his embarrassing association with McAfee antivirus software.

    Intel, which acquired McAfee Inc. in 2011, is dropping the McAfee brand in favor of Intel Security. McAfee founded the eponymous global software security firm in 1987, but left the company in 1994. When we last checked in with the gonzo antivirus pioneer, he was being evicted from his luxury Portland apartment and employing biker bodyguards.

    His response to Intel’s rebranding was pure McAfee: “I am now everlastingly grateful to Intel for freeing me from this terrible association with the worst software on the planet,” he told the BBC. “These are not my words, but the words of millions of irate users. My elation at Intel’s decision is beyond words.”

    Intel CEO Brian Krzanich announced the name change at the International Consumer Electronics Show this week. It’s not clear that McAfee’s shenanigans had anything to do with the re-branding.

    McAfee’s disdain for the product bearing his name is well known.

    “Although I’ve had nothing to do with this company for over 15 years, I still get volumes of mail asking how do I uninstall this software,” McAfee said in a salty parody video released in June called “How to Uninstall McAfee Antivirus Software.” Warning: the video, embedded below, contains mature themes and John McAfee.

  • Apple Mac OS X Flashback Trojan Is still Alive, Recently Infected 22,000 Machines

    The Flashback Trojan, the most sophisticated piece of malware that infected over 600,000 Apple’s Macs systems back in April, 2012 is still alive and has infected about 22,000 machines recently, according to the researchers from Intego.

    For a refresh, Flashback Trojan was first discovered in September 2011, basically a trojan horse that uses a social engineering to trick users into installing a malicious Flash player package.

    Once installed, the Flashback malware injects a code into that web browser and other applications like Skype to harvest passwords and other information from those program’s users. The Trojan targets a known vulnerability in Java on Mac OS X systems.

    The system gets infected after the user redirects to a compromised website, where a malicious javascript code to load the exploit with Java applets. Then an executable file is saved on the local machine, which is used to download and run malicious code from a remote location.

    It took Apple months to recognize the severity of this Mac malware threat, which first appeared in the Fall of 2011. However, Apple released the patch and updated the specific introduction about the operating system,“It doesn’t get PC viruses” to “It’s built to be safe.” on the Apple website. Intego said:

    “The Apple Product Security Response team took serious actions in 2012 to mitigate the threat using XProtect and other security updates (including a Malware Removal Tool), however, the botnet count was only divided by six according to our sinkhole.

    Now in 2014, Intego researcher Abbati claims that Flashback botnet is still alive and is silently “adrift.”

    “Intego purchased some of the command and control (C&C) server domain names to monitor the Flashback threat that infected hundreds of thousands of Macs. Beginning January 2, we studied those domains and our sinkhole servers recorded all connections from Macs where Flashback is still active and trying to contact the C&C servers.

     

    Flashback botnet On April 2012, the Mac world was stunned to learn that the Flashback Trojan had infected millions of machines. The Flashback Ad-clicking the component tool that caused infected Macs to view sponsored links that had the potential to generate millions of dollars in fraudulent ad revenue. In addition, it has the capability to do much more, including sending spam, engaging in denial-of-service attacks, or logging passwords.
