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.

Trojan.Khan is a dangerous Trojan which has the main purpose to execute DDoS attacks. Trojan.Khan tries to set up floods of HTTP requests that are meant to emerge like legal web traffic, striving to make DDoS mitigations much more complicated. One of Trojan.Khan techniques is to flood an infected computer user with HTTP requests that seem to be crawler requests from search engines; this presumably depends on the quite reasonable expectation that the compromised websites will be frightened of filtering out web requests from such crawlers for fear of seriously decreasing their page rankings at Google, Bing and other search systems, and thus becoming effectively invisible to potential customers. Successfully, there are means of exploiting the subtle flaws in Trojan.Khan's flooding engine to securely thwart its attacks. Trojan.Khan uses the crypto algorithm to obfuscate its sensitive strings, particularly it's command & control URLs, using a custom crypto algorithm. Remove Trojan.Khan as soon as possible to secure your computer from damage.
