Troj/Agent-XIK Description

Troj/Agent-XIK is a Trojan that is distributed via the spam emails linked to the London Summer 2012 Olympics. The spam email encompasses a bogus US women’s gymnastics scandal Youtube video. The unsolicited email has a subject line ‘Huge scandal with the USA Women’s Gymnastics Team on the 2012 London Olympics’ designed to attract sports fans into opening the message. The fraudulent email incorporates a web link which, if clicked, takes online users not to the legal YouTube website, but a copy website that runs numerous JavaScript codes, and urges computer users to download and install an Adobe Flash plugin to view the content. If the recipient downloads and installs the bogus Adobe Flash plugin, his/her computer is affected by Troj/Agent-XIK.
