Bitrix Alerts About Trojan Program Disguising as Microsoft Silverlight Update and Bitrix Security Framework
The Trojan Installs a Keylogger Capable to Capture Keystrokes Including Username, Password and Credit Card Number
ALEXANDRIA, Virginia, October 26, 2010/PRNewswire/ -- Bitrix, Inc. (http://www.bitrixsoft.com), a technology
trendsetter in business communications solutions, alerts customers about the
existence of a Trojan program pretending to be the Bitrix security framework.
The Trojan is capable of stealing confidential data from infected computers
and received the highest threat level (
http://www.threatexpert.com/report.aspx?md5áf155eee588f77c350fe3fee4f5380b)
from malware experts.
Identified as a part of the "Agent" malware family, the Trojan
is presumably spread using mass mailing of spam and malicious links. The
malware can be delivered to the target computer in different flavors
including pretending to be a Microsoft Silverlight or Bitrix security update.
If a user launches the infected file, the Trojan installs itself into the
system by creating multiple files and registering itself in the system
registry. After installation the malware unobtrusively runs in the
background, captures keystrokes and sends out collected data to an external
service. This way a malicious person can obtain the user's confidential
information including username, password and credit card number.
The Trojan can be identified by the presence of "Bitrix
Security" folder in the application data directory which contains a number of
supplementary files and a run-time library under randomly generated names
(for example xaukvmm60.dll).
Bitrix recommends that users update their virus scanners and check
their computers against this malicious program.
