Threat Scorecard
EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecard
EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards are assessment reports for different malware threats which have been collected and analyzed by our research team. EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards evaluate and rank threats using several metrics including real-world and potential risk factors, trends, frequency, prevalence, and persistence. EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards are updated regularly based on our research data and metrics and are useful for a wide range of computer users, from end users seeking solutions to remove malware from their systems to security experts analyzing threats.
EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards display a variety of useful information, including:
Ranking: The ranking of a particular threat in EnigmaSoft’s Threat Database.
Severity Level: The determined severity level of an object, represented numerically, based on our risk modeling process and research, as explained in our Threat Assessment Criteria.
Infected Computers: The number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular threat detected on infected computers as reported by SpyHunter.

BLYPT is a Trojan that belongs to a newly-discovered family of backdoor Trojans. The BLYPT family is composed of extremely damaging backdoor Trojans that are particularly difficult to detect and remove. BLYPT attacks are mainly located in the United States, although computer users have reported BLYPT attacks in various other parts of the world. A backdoor Trojan, like BLYPT, is designed to allow a third party to gain unauthorized access to the infected computer. Much like an unguarded backdoor can allow a criminal to enter a building while avoiding detection, a virtual backdoor can allow criminals to gain unauthorized access to the user's computer from a remote location. Backdoor Trojans like BLYPT may be used by criminals to steal private information, spy on the infected computer's activities and install other threats on the user's computer. Typical threats associated with BLYPT infections include spy Trojans, rogue security software, ransomware, bot Trojans and a variety of other types of threats.
BLYPT Exploits Vulnerabilities on the Java Runtime Environment
The BLYPT family of Trojans are delivered using compromised websites that exploit vulnerabilities in the Java Runtime Environment. Typically, the process begins with a compromised although legitimate website. Criminals may gain unauthorized access to a website by taking advantage of outdated software or poor password protection. Once the website is compromised, criminals can then insert unreliable Java scripts on it. These take advantage of the Java vulnerability CVE-2013-1493, which has already been patched. Since the initial BLYPT infection takes advantage of a Java vulnerability that has already been patched, one of the best ways to protect your computer from BLYPT is ensuring that Java and all of your software are fully up to date.
When computer users visit the compromised website, this vulnerability is used to install BLYPT on the user's computer. Once BLYPT is installed, BLYPT installs a backdoor on the user's computer that allows criminals to access the infected computer from a remote location. Using the exploit mentioned above, criminals may force the infected computer to download an installer. This installer downloads and installs BLYPT's files, named either logo32.png or logo64.png, depending on the infected computer's operating system. BLYPT's command and control servers are mainly located in Romania, with about a fifth of them in Turkey and a few uncovered in the United States, Belize and China.
