A dangerous Trojan spying on your computer while connecting
to a remote attacker is a threat big enough, in itself.
What if the same malice has peer-to-peer creeping
ability too?!
Security experts at MicroWorld
Technologies inform that ‘Trojan.Win32.Inject.t’
or ‘W32/Inject-H’ is a new peer-to peer
worm with IRC backdoor Trojan capacities. ‘Inject.t’
can run in the background of a computer by working
as a Server that allows a hacker to control the system
via IRC channels.
Exploiting Windows vulnerabilities, this worm will
proliferate in networks. First it copies itself into
a shared folder on the local machine. From there,
the P2P network takes over to contact other computers
in the network and helps them download and execute
the infected file.
MicroWorld experts observe that it even mimics network
protocol of specific file-sharing networks by responding
to file requests and distributes the infected component
across the network.
“This one can get quiet nasty if an attacker
is eying the business critical information of an enterprise.
Through a single point, this Trojan spreads wide and
fast to other computers to expose the total network
to a hacker. Sitting in remote place, the hacker has
your enterprise at his finger tips,” explains
Govind Rammurthy, CEO, MicroWorld
Technologies.
MicroWorld has constituted a special team working
to identify and tackle various breeds of Trojan menace.
One of the most dynamic segments of malware, this
one has new types coming out almost everyday. Equally
effective against home users and enterprises, Trojans
are key culprits in many recent financial frauds and
intellectual property thefts. Some of them are known
to even disable many AntiVirus softwares and Firewalls
on the computer.
“Some recent Trojans with advanced backdoor
capacities can send and receive files, execute them,
display notifications and even destroy the entire
database if they want so! In a coordinated attack
they work on specific tasks systematically, to bring
an entire organization to its knees. The only way
to combat them is to enforce an Integrated Security
Policy across all levels, powered by advanced malware
protection and Content Security,” affirms Govind
Rammurthy.
