Mousetrap Trojan steals Money
Bitdefender alerts about the Mousetrap Trojan which steals ones money by chain reactions.
A new bank-robber Trojan sets of a series of downloads and installations to rob one's bank account while dodging antivirus software. The new Mousetrap campaign starts as Java applets injected in popular websites infect visitors. The malicious applet, Trojan.Downloader.Java.OpenConnection.BA, disguised as Adobe Flash Player, pretends the clean html files to ensure its execution along with the opening of the piggybacked html page. Once executed, the applet downloads and installs another malicious executable file on the machine of the website visitors.
The attackers likely use 0-day vulnerabilities in blogging web applications or brute-force weak administrator passwords to add their code in the header file.Once on the system, the banker updates itself by downloading newer versions from a second list of links. The updates hide out in different locations so that if one is detected, the rest can still be accessed.
