Trojan Agent.IMB: do not trust alluring headings

24th April 2008

PandaLabs Laboratory reported the detection of a stream of spam of supposedly erotic pictures of celebrities (Britney Spears, Rianna, Shakira and others), which are used as a lure to spread the trojan of Agent.IMB.
The form of such messages is very simple: they come under some alluring headline, for example, â€œNaked Shakiraâ€ or "Scarlet Johansson shows her chestâ€, and includes a link with the text â€œdownload and watchâ€. If a user clicks on a link his computer automatically boots a copy of the trojan Agent.IMB. This malicious code copies itself into the system under the name of "CbEvtSvc.exe" and creates a service of the same name, which runs every time you boot the system.
To avoid becoming a victim of such attacks, PandaLabs gives standard recommendations: not to open electronic messages coming from unknown sources, and not to click on links in them.
