Bagoox

By GoldSparrow in Trojans

Bagoox is a Trojan downloader that may be used by cyber hackers to spread threats whose purpose may be to collect information, bank account data and other details. The Bagoox downloader is quite threatening since it uses advanced self-preservation techniques that may allow it to conceal its activities, files and components, therefore increasing its chances of completing its task. Bagoox may be used to download banking Trojans and other severe threats to the targeted computer, so as you can probably already guess, Bagoox may be involved in the first stage of a cleverly crafted threat distribution campaign.

Bagoox may be spread among potential victims with the use of fake software updates, bogus email attachments, pirated software, and other similar techniques that have been used for threat distribution in the past. Bagoox may drop its files in the Windows %TEMP% folder, but it also may copy its components to other system folders so that it can continue its operations even if some of its files are removed. Bagoox may be used to distribute ransomware, so an infection with Bagoox may put your computer in harm's way. To avoid problems with Bagoox, users should run a reputable anti-virus product and enable its real-time protection modules.
