Trojan.Win32.Swisyn.cyxf is a Trojan that is spread by cybercriminals via a hijacked Chinese website of Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), an organization of the Dalai Lama that militates to restore freedom for Tibetans. The compromised website carries a harmful code, which has been embedded into the website to divert visitors to a Java exploit generated to distribute a backdoor Trojan. The attack targets only the Chinese visitors of the website. English and Tibetan versions of the website don't host the iframe that diverts visitors to the Java exploit which distributes and runs a backdoor Trojan recognized as Trojan.Win32.Swisyn.cyxf. Trojan.Win32.Swisyn.cyxf communicates with a Command-and-Control (C&C) server located at News.worldlinking.com.
