Troj/Agent-YTA is a Trojan that is involved in a spam email campaign. Troj/Agent-YTA affects the HR (human resources) departments. The unsolicited email message allegedly comes from Detma (the Massachusetts Division of Employment and Training), declaring that the PC user needs to provide information in order to pay benefits to a former employee. The bogus email with the subject line 'Action Required - Time Sensitive Material'carries the attached file called 'Unemployment_case.zip'. The unsolicited email, which is used to spread Troj/Agent-YTA strives to fool the computer user into opening the attached file. The ZIP file encompasses a file called 'Unemployment_case.exe', found as Troj/Agent-YTA. If a computer user runs the file on a Windows PC, the machine will be corrupted by Troj/Agent-YTA and cybercriminals will be able to gain remote access to your own or company data (personnel records and private information).
