Spam is evolving daily and email spam is the worse. Worse as most of us open and check the attachments that end up in our Inbox instead of Junk! And here lies the danger. Though no one can claim to catch up with latest email attachment spams, yet it’s good to report one as soon as one finds it.
So here I am alerting you about Trojan-Spy.Win32 family and backdoor.irc.zapchast.zwrc
Spammers have become smarter and now are using ecards which are mass-mailed.
There comes an attachment along with the E-Card with the name such as “something.card.zip” which, however is a malicious Trojan program from the Trojan-Spy.Win32.Zbot family crafted to steal user data. In some mass mailings a backdoor.irc.zapchast.zwrc trojan was detected that allowed remote operation of the PC via the Internet with the help of mIRC. Here is the snapshot of the Ecard Mailer:
I urge all my visitors and friends to please avoid opening such ecard emails and simply hard delete them. else you have nothing to do later on. Hope you found this useful!
