Cybercrooks Spoof FBI In Malevolent Spam Campaigns to Spread Fake Security Program XP Total Security

May 11, 2011 Comments Off

Cybercriminals are boldly spoofing the FBI to trick unwary PC users into downloading malicious malware and buying their fake antivirus program, XP Total Security.

A scare-serving email campaign is on the loose and marked with ‘High Priority’, is jacking the good ole Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Here’s a look at the tainted email:

Subject: You visit illegal websites

Body: Sir/Madam, we have logged your IP-address on more than 40 illegal Websites. Important: Please answer our questions! The list of questions are attached. pbu bx ng

You might laugh and wonder where’s the punch line? Or you might wonder who in their right mind wouldn’t see the email as nothing more than spam? Well, cybercriminals are hoping to cash-in on the fears and guilt of unwary PC users who have visited less than savory websites such as porn or even some gaming sites. They study social engineering and mold their scare tactics to lure and bilk humans out of hard earned monies.

Scamming is a billion dollar industry and as evidence by their brand-jacking the FBI, cybercriminals are not bias or prejudice and are willing to do whatever to get a huge piece of your pie. Stealth malware tools like Trojan.Zlob.2.Gen will deceptively gain entry and quietly setup the malicious attack. All the while the PC user doesn’t have a clue until bells and whistles go off in the form of alerts and warnings, another ploy by Trojan.Zlob.2.Gen.

FBI spam email spread XP Total Security

When potential victims download the attachment (document.zip), instead of getting the promised list of questions, Trojan.Zlob.2.Gen drops its malicious program onto the victims PCs and triggers a series of fake alerts, scans, and reporting as proof a security breach has occurred.

Midst the assault of pop-ups alerting of an intrusion, some slick-looking interface, XP Total Security, appears of nowhere and runs an unauthorized scan. Unlike the poorly written scam-advert, the interface looks professional since it is modeled after a legitimate Microsoft product design, but just like they spoofed and jacked the FBI, they did the same to Microsoft. XP Total Security is a worthless piece of software and was not designed to protect your data or your PC but to steal it and rob you blind.

The Fake Alerts:

XP Total Security Firewall Alert
XP Total Security has blocked a program from accessing the internet
Internet Explorer is infected with Trojan-BNK.Win32.Keylogger.gen
Private data can be stolen by third parties, including credit card details and passwords.

System Hijack!
System security threat was detected. Viruses and/or spyware may be damaging your system now. Prevent infection and data loss or stealing by running a free security scan.

Privacy threat!
Spyware intrusion detected. Your system is infected. System integrity is at risk. Private data can be stolen by third parties, including credit card details and passwords. Click here to perform a security repair.

Stealth intrusion!
Infection detected in the background. Your computer is now attacked by spyware and rogue software. Eliminate the infection safely, perform a security scan and deletion now.

When you think about it, not all the alerts are fakes, although all are misleading. Your system has been ‘hijacked’ and if you try to use your browser you will clearly agree, since you will be forcibly routed to unwanted or malicious websites selling XP Total Security.

You are actually experiencing a ‘privacy threat’ and ’stealth intrusion’ but the enemy is the very thing offering to help you and that is XP Total Security. Do not fall trap and do not buy or download this poisonous software.

Trojan.Zlob.2Gen is behind the deception and tampered with your antimalware (if applicable) so that it would not detect its presence. Trojan.Zlob.2Gen, a variant of Trojan.Zlob, positioned its file to run after your OS but prior to your antimalware, so that it wouldn’t even see it. Trojan.Zlob.2Gen also listed its malicious program on the ‘approved programs listing’ of your firewall security.

Trojan.Zlob.2Gen is a stealth enemy and not only blocked you from using your browser, but also blocked you from using Task Manager so you can’t thwart its mission.

The Mission of Trojan.Zlob.2Gen

  1. Steal vital data such as passwords, usernames, bank or credit card information and send to a remote server for sell or other malicious intent.
  2. Spy on surfing habits or track infection rate and report to creator.
  3. Trick victim into buying useless software, XP Total Security, and get them to willingly give credit card or bank information and download malicious files.
  4. Exploit Remote Assistance Tools to give a hacker control to do whatever he pleases, including:
  • Use your PC as a bot to mass spam
  • Use your PC as a bot to distribute a DNS attack
  • Spoof your email account and spam persons in your contact list
  • Download more malicious files for further attacks

Doing nothing will not stop Trojan.Zlob.2Gen from completing its tasks, in fact, you should immediately disconnect any Internet connection until you are certain all traces of Trojan.Zlob2.Gen have been removed from your PC. You should also contact your financial institution and change your security credentials as a safety precaution.

Trojan.Zlob.2Gen may include a rootkit and this allows the vermin to embed its virus in the root of your BIOS or MBR to avoid detection and removal. Unless you are an expert working with system and registry files, you should use expert tools or programs to wipe your system clean, and protect your data and PC from future attacks. Otherwise, you could damage your hard drive and wipe clean your valuable data.

Scam Warning: ‘Adobe Acrobat X PDF Reader. Upgrade Available Now’ Spam Email

April 8, 2011 Comments Off

Scammers are out spreading phishing attacks and hoping to catch a net full of unaware PC users by using Adobe as their bait.

Spammers are sending emails alerting PC users of an upgrade to the ‘New’ Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is a fake. When they click on the link, they are taken to a bogus Adobe webpage that asks them to complete a form providing their personal data that includes credit card or bank information, and are deceptively charged for the free Adobe Acrobat Reader download. Do not fall prey. This email and the bogus Adobe webpage are part of a scam to cheat you out of your money.

Here is the wording from the ‘deceptive’ email spam:

ADOBE PDF READER SOFTWARE UPGRADE NOTIFICATION
This is to remind that a new version of Adobe Acrobat Reader with enhanced features for viewing, creating, editing, printing and internet-sharing PDF documents has been released.

Cyber criminals are exploiting the trust factor of legitimate products such as Adobe, Microsoft, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, and other branding and are using social engineering to lure would-be-victims into their scam and trap. Crooked programmers and graphic artists have gone to great lengths to mimic or capture the essence of the Adobe brand in their slick imitation of the interface. Unless you are really paying attention, you may not notice the bogus URL that only contains a reference to Adobe and not the familiar Adobe domain.

Hopefully, most PC users of Adobe products will become suspicious of the spam email. The phishing scam reads:

From: Adobe Systems Incorporated [mailto:newsletter@adobe-mailer.com]
Subject: Get more done, much faster, with Acrobat X PDF Reader. Upgrade Available Now

GETTING MORE DONE AT WORK NOW COMES IN A CONVENIENT BOX

See how Adobe Acrobat X Reader is a step above anything you’ve experienced before, so you can be even more productive.

Upgrade now: http://www.official-adobe-acrobatx.com

Just how much faster can you work with Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader software? Fast enough to stay on top of last-minute changes, connect with key decision makers, and share updates with co-workers.

You’ll discover how easy it is to reuse content by exporting PDF files to Microsoft Word or Excel formats. And how quickly you can automate multi-step tasks with new, guided Actions. No wonder PC Magazine says, “There’s a lot to like in Acrobat X PDF Reader.” See for yourself at :

Canada

It may sound legit, but it is fallacious, since Adobe Acrobat Reader was only designed to present information in a fixed layout, and thus only allows users to view and/or print PDF files and not create or edit them.

Additionally, why would you need to provide credit card information when from inception, Adobe Acrobat Reader has always been offered as freeware, meaning ‘no charge’? This alone screams scam.

A Word of Caution:

  1. Do not open emails without verifying the source. Cyber criminals are desperate to increase their already overflowing bank accounts, and have boldly hacked personal accounts to gain access to pertinent information such as your email address. They also have hijacked legitimate brand logos, domains, or personas (i.e. interface designs).
  2. Do not provide your private data (i.e. bank or credit card information, or email address) to anyone before verifying that the source and request are legitimate. A mistake could cost you dearly.
  3. Do not click on dubious links or visit suspicious websites, they may be malicious and provide an infected download onto your PC.
  4. Protect your data and PC by keeping current your antimalware solution and staying atop of all software upgrades and patches to known vulnerabilities.
