BKDR_KRIDEX.KA

By Domesticus in Backdoors

BKDR_KRIDEX.KA is a backdoor Trojan that is included in the Blackhole Exploit Kit (BHEK) spam campaign, which aims at social networking website Pinterest and its users. BKDR_KRIDEX.KA circulates via spam email messages. The victimized computer user receives the spam email in the inbox. The fake email poses as an authentic email from Pinterest and informs the affected recipient about a successful password change. The unsolicited email message also carries a link that would permit him/her to see the new password. If the attacked PC user clicks on the link, he/she is rerouted to numerous misleading websites. BKDR_KRIDEX.KA is able to run commands from a remote cybercriminal, and therefore, can take over the corrupted PC's security. BKDR_KRIDEX.KA adds the registry entries so that it can load automatically whenever the computer users starts the PC. BKDR_KRIDEX.KA connects to the possibly infected web address.
