Troj/Agent-AAQY

By Domesticus in Trojans

Troj_Agent-AAQY is a malicious program and Trojan masked in a travel-themed email spam campaign. Targets are faced with an email having the subject matter of 'Fw: Atlanta Hotel' and purporting to root from the legitimate seaside hotel in Pembrokeshire, South West Wales. However, Troj_Agent-AAQY is a mere email spam containing a fake message and a poisonous attachment and zip file, AtlanticHotel Booking Confirmation.zip.

If you've haven't booked a trip, especially one with Atlanta Hotel, a red flag should be raised right away. Furthermore, you should always verify the source of links or attachments before clicking, lest you unleash an infection like Troj_Agent-AAQY, able to steal vital data and give a hacker remote control of the infected system. Additionally, having been forewarned, instead of opening, you need to 'delete this email spam' altogether.

To be sure Troj_Agent-AAQY is not already on board, you should use a stealth anti-malware solution to be able to unmask hidden files.
