Threat Database Trojans TROJ_ARTIEF.SDY

TROJ_ARTIEF.SDY

By Sumo3000 in Trojans

TROJ_ARTIEF.SDY is a Trojan that spreads via spam email messages linked to Hurricane Sandy. The particular spam attack affects NATO's Special Operations Headquarters (NSHQ). The fake email has the subject 'Did Global Warming Contribute to Hurricane Sandy's Devastation' and encompasses a .DOC file with the same title. Spammers behind this online scam seem to have used the title of a recent New York Times blog post about Hurricane Sandy. The infected file attachment, detected as TROJ_ARTIEF.SDY, exploits the RTF Stack Buffer Overflow Vulnerability (CVE-2010-3333) which was addressed by Microsoft in November 2010 in MS10-087 to distribute BKDR_DLDR.A.
