Spammers using Matrix as bait to plant trojans
Spammers using Matrix as bait to plant trojansBy Sam Varghese
October 29, 2003 Print this article Email to a friend Another day, another little bit of social engineering by spammers in a bid to use email and trick users into downloading trojans to their computers. This time the bait being used is a download of Matrix Revolutions, the third film in the series which is due out in November. Canberra-based sysadmin Daniel McNamara, who did a spot of investigation after he received one such email, said it purported to offer a download to the first 1000 users. The email reads: Matrix Revolution is coming out on 5th of November. You don't have to catch your cinema ticket up. Only 1000 people can download its FULL movie from our site. Get it now before too late! The images in the email link to a genuine movie site; the text hyperlinks go to a bogus site. McNamara followed the trail using the text browser elinks on a Linux machine to avoid getting his own machine infected. Such trojans only work on computers running the Windows operating system. His investigations led him to conclude that a trojan which reports back to an internet relay chat server is planted on the computer of those who visit the site. "I can't be 100 percent sure that this is the case as I don't have a sacrificial machine to use for tracking," he said. "I'll pass a copy of the trojan on to the major anti-virus companies and let them complete the job." --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
