Troj/ExpJS-IV is a Trojan that propagates via a hijacked website of US Department of Labor. A subdomain of the main website of the Department, running off a separate server, what's known colloquially as a microsite, was modified to carry a security threat, namely Troj/ExpJS-IV. Troj/ExpJS-IV uses a malevolent Java script file that encompasses what are known as anti-anti-virus techniques. This means that the cybercriminal actively aims at bypassing detection by interfering with the operation of one or more of the anti-virus programs the PC user may be running. The malevolent Java script, recognized as Troj/ExpJS-IV, even strives to connect to the local web console to reconfigure the product on in the name of the computer owner.
