TROJ_NAIKON.A is a Trojan that is involved in a targeted attack campaign, which conceals behind SSL communication. Using encrypted communication such as 'Secure Sockets Layers (SSL)' together with the reasonable use of latest news item as a social engineering lure is the perfect combination to access and stay in an affected entity's infrastructure. TROJ_MDROP.ATP proliferates via a bogus email connected with the Boston Marathon bombing. TROJ_NAIKON.A connects over SSL (port 443) to the URL 'gnorthpoint.eicp.net', which earlier resolved to 220.165.218.39 but now resolves to 50.117.115.89. The certificate is filled with fake information carrying the identity 'donc' and the organization 'abc'. Although TROJ_NAIKON.A connects over SSL which encrypts the traffic, the plain text traffic incorporates an easy to notice User-Agent.
