The Gophe binary is classified by malware researchers as a trojan that can collect information like your email's content, email subject, and recipient's address. Additionally, the Gophe trojan can record your Microsoft Outlook version and Windows version that can be used to help hackers determine what type of attack they can launch aimed at your specific system configuration. You can be noted that the Gophe trojan is dispersed as an attached file in spam emails. If you make the poor decision to download a file from spam that is loaded with the Gophe trojan you can become a victim of a cyber attack. The Gophe trojan can create a BAT file with a random name in the temp folder of Windows that contains information about your PC which it sends to a remote server and then it automatically deletes itself. Computer users that want to boost their cyber defenses can install a trusted anti-malware shield in order to prevent Gophe from infecting their OS.
