Swine Flu Madness

December 01, 2009

Media make a lot of noise about swine flu and vaccination against it. Today I got this spam (click to enlarge):

It looks like US Government Vaccination program, right? So let's go and register. But only what we can do is to clink on "H1N1 Vaccination Profile" to download 130Kb archive.

As I suppose it's not an archive but a trojan horse which copies itself into system32 directory, register under userinit registry key and inject code into winlogon process.

AVG catched this piece of malware.
