Trojan-Ransom.Win32.Gimemo.ashm

Trojan-Ransom.Win32.Gimemo.ashm is a Trojan that is a part of a spam email attack affecting Business Direct customers of British Telecom. The spam British Telecom emails simulate to be sent by British Telecom, a British multinational telecommunications services company, popularly known as BT headquartered in London, United Kingdom. The fake British Telecom email messages carry the title 'BT Business Direct Order' and contain a confirmation message for sending the order on the particular date. However, till the next day or other premium delivery service option is not chosen by the computer user, then the order will take 1-3 days to arrive. Instead, if the message is transferred through a Letterpost, the timing would take a bit longer. To make the deceptive email look and sound official and legal, it also incorporates a message like the order might have been shipped in different boxes, which means that separate cargo numbers might be suitable for the same. At first sight, the fraudulent British Telecom emails look legitimate though the attached HTML file takes a victim to a fake Russian host, the BlackHole exploit kit exploring the PC user's system for security holes and the vulnerabilities being employed to distribute the Cridex malware infection.
