Sophos Alert Malware disguised attack on Apple post
·
Security firm Sophos is warning of a new malware attack that aims to steal money from the bank accounts of users. To that end they use a fake email that appears to come from Apple iTunes in the reporting of a charge on the credit card.
When the user, deceived by the appearance of legitimate email, in which among other things shows the logo of the company on the block, decides to click on a link that includes mail, is lost and trapped.
This link does not lead, as might be imagined user pages related to Apple, but to another that spoofs the U.S. Tax and uses for each visit, using the famous kit Blakchole malware, detecting vulnerabilities in Java, Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader.
If you do not have these programs completely updated, end discovering a vulnerability and the computer will be infected with the Trojan ZeusZBot. Worst of all is that if the user has done their homework, they are asked to download a newer version of their browsers, and offered an upgrade to the Trojan already incorporated.
The end result is that the user is likely to be infected with ZeusZBot Windows, malware can record all keystrokes and bank accounts comprometener users.
For Paul Teijeiro, Sophos responsible for Spain, "always a bad idea to click on links in unsolicited emails, but can be more likely to do so when we believe we are paying a considerable amount of money for a product that we have not bought" says Paul Teijeiro, Sales Director of Sophos., which also explains that because of the time of year where we are, it is especially important to be careful with these emails.
