Trojan.APT.Seinup is a backdoor Trojan that compromises Google Docs. Trojan.APT.Seinup is a part of a cyber campaign that uses Google Docs to bypass detection in order to steal corporate and personal data from victimized PC users. The spear phishing campaign affects Asia and ASEAN [Association of Southeast Asian Nations]. The spear phishing document uses a potentially stolen document as a bait. Trojan.APT.Seinup uses a variety of advanced techniques to execute its damaging actions. Trojan.APT.Seinup leverages Google Docs to execute diversions to evade callback detection. The phishing document affects the CVE-2012-0158 vulnerability and uses a malware dropper called 'exp1ore.exe'. The dropper is specifically dangerous as it enables Trojan.APT.Seinup to falsely register itself as a Windows Service on corrupted PCs, meaning it can survive a system restart and network persist. Trojan.APT.Seinup is called Trojan.APT.Seinup because one of its export functions is called 'seinup'. Trojan.APT.Seinup permits the cybercriminal to obtain remote unauthorized access and control of the attacked PC.
