Trojan.Fakesafe is a Trojan that is a component of a targeted campaign called 'SafeNet' (the name of the campaign is not associated with the security company of the same name). Cybercriminals behind this malware campaign are using phishing emails with infected attachments, found as Trojan.Fakesafe. These attachments are document files that exploit vulnerabilities in Microsoft Word. Some of the documents exploit the Microsoft Windows Common Controls ActiveX Control Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (CVE-2012-0158). If exploitation is successful, the infected documents download the malevolent files. Trojan.Fakesafe opens a back door and steals information from the compromised PC. Once run, Trojan.Fakesafe replicates itself as the malevolent files. Trojan.Fakesafe also creates the malevolent files. Trojan.Fakesafe creates the registry entries. Trojan.Fakesafe strives to open a back door by connecting to the predefined web address Getapencil.com. The remote cybercriminal is then able to fulfill the harmful actions on the corrupted PC such as download and run files that incorporate bogus security applications and update the threat.
