Trojan.JS.Redirector.za is a Trojan that is involved in particular web attacks launched by Brazilian cybercriminals. Trojan.JS.Redirector.za is distributed as a malevolent PAC (Proxy Auto-Config) via phishing web address. These types of malevolent scripts are used to divert the target computer user's connection to a phishing bank, credit card and other websites. After registering the web address 'java7update.com', Brazilian attackers started attacking several websites, embedding a malevolent iframe in some hijacked websites.
The iframe loads a malevolent Java applet prepared to change the proxy configuration on the Internet browser such as Internet Explorer and Firefox. The web address used in the attack refers to a file called 'update.pac'. To evade detection based on signatures, the script uses various concatenations. The purpose of Trojan.JS.Redirector.za is to divert attacked computer users to a bogus website of Mtgox.com to steal credentials, and finally, some bitcoins. This is one of the bogus websites used in the malware campaign. The malevolent PAC is recognized as Trojan.JS.Redirector.za.
