Be careful with Trojans hiding the security vendor
A new Trojan program is rapidly spreading on the Internet, under the name of a reputable security firm, right at the time of "hanging up".
According to the latest warning from security vendor Sophos, a Trojan program is quickly spreading via email.Pretending to be F-Secure, a security vendor in Helsinki, this email carries an attachment with a lot of different titles related to issues that are of interest to recipients.The most common is "Error in Firefox browser" (Firefox Browsing Problem), Error in Mozilla browser ("Mozilla Browsing Problem") or "Error in website browser (Website Browsing Problem).
Of course, in this case F-Secure had no problem and was just a reluctant victim of cyber criminals.Its reputation has been used as a disguise mask for malware (malware).
According to Sophos, once it gets into the machine, the Trojan will disable other antivirus and defense software, and open the back door for hackers to sneak into the system, gain access.
And yet, the opening of the attachment also allows hackers to deposit spy programs, steal data and destroy computers.The situation becomes more dangerous when the time of the Kama Sutra worm is expected to simultaneously attack the world that has arrived.
