Bookmark and Share

Ax3soft did captured emails what popped up as Facebook phishing emails.

The from address is apparently spoofed and have nothing to do with the Facebook in any way. It  has various subjects:

Facebook Account Update
Facebook Update Tool
new login system

But now we should take steps to get a working host in which it can  host the supposed phishing site. we have visited htxxp://www.facebook.com.ujtqwaqo.eu/globaldirectory/LoginFacebook.php?ref=xxx&email=xxx@xxx.com and got the login screen.

We got redirected to the following screen when we fill in the fake login and password.To our surprise we didn't find a webform that we can use it to submit personal information, but we find a link to a malware file updated tool.exe.

We call this malware as Gen:Heur.Zbot.gq0@cS0Ulyb (BitDefender), PWS:Win32/Zbot.gen!R (Microsoft) or Mal/EncPk-LE (Sophos). As you know,ZBot is a banking trojan, all of its functions are disableing firewall, stealing sensitive financial data(credit card numbers, online banking login details) ,making screen snapshots, downloading additional components, and providing a hacker with the remote access to the compromised system.

Create the file %System%\sdra64.exe on an infected system. Hidden files are created: %System%\lowsec\local.ds, %System%\lowsec\user.ds and %System%\lowsec\user.ds.lll all together with a hidden directory %System%\lowsec.

Create new memory pages in the address space of the system process(es):

%System%\services.exe, %System%\lsass.exe, %System%\svchost.exe, %System%\alg.exe adn %ProgramFiles%\internet explorer\iexplore.exe.

The infection also contains Windows registry modification and a connection to a remote host will be established:

hxxp://193.104.27.42/lcc/ip2.gif and hxxp://193.104.27.42/ip.php.

We have added some new policies of Ax3soft Sax2 to detect the Trojan, please update the policy basic knowledge of Sax2 in time.
