Threat Scorecard
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:
Popularity Rank: 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.
Infected Computers: The number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular threat detected on infected computers as reported by SpyHunter.

The Troj/Trackr-Gen Trojan has been associated with a surge of attacks against educational institutions and small to medium-sized businesses. While the attacks of the Troj/Trackr-Gen Trojan have not been widespread as of November of 2011, it is important to remain vigilant. The criminals behind the Troj/Trackr-Gen Trojan seem to target those kinds of organizations that may not have the sufficient resources to invest in expensive computer security and defense, which means that the big multinational conglomerates are probably safe from the Troj/Trackr-Gen Trojan. The Troj/Trackr-Gen Trojan targets equipment dedicated to processing credit cards. Once Troj/Trackr-Gen has infected these machines, Troj/Trackr-Gen attempts to steal any credit card information Troj/Trackr-Gen may find. According to ESG security researchers, the Troj/Trackr-Gen Trojan disguises itself as a Windows service with an executable file (with the .exe extension) named rdasrv.exe corresponding to the service of the same name. As PC security researchers identify this dangerous malware threat, the criminals behind Troj/Trackr-Gen have changed it so that Troj/Trackr-Gen will instead choose a randomly-numbered file name and service, usually beginning with the letter 'A' followed by a random number and the .exe extension.

Understanding the Troj/Trackr-Gen Trojan
One of the main problems with the Troj/Trackr-Gen Trojan is that Troj/Trackr-Gen can bypass many of the most typical protections by being compliant with PCI/DSS. The way Troj/Trackr-Gen works is by using simple procedures in order to search the infected computer's memory for credit card data which Troj/Trackr-Gen can then store. Examples of credit card data that the Troj/Trackr-Gen Trojan searches for include the name of the card's owner, the credit card account's number, the card's expiration date, the card's code and number, and other similar information that may prove useful towards cloning or stealing that particular card. This information is written onto a text file (with the .txt extension) with a fairly innocuous file name (usually 'data' or 'currentblock'). A Troj/Trackr-Gen Trojan infection will usually occur after the criminals behind Troj/Trackr-Gen gain access to the infected computer systems through other means, usually through the installation of a backdoor Trojan. This illicit access can be gained with the use of social engineering scams, with an external memory device, or through exploiting known security vulnerabilities in the Windows operating system or the most popular Internet browsers and operating environments (such as Java or Flash).

Similar Families
Similar Families
This section lists other families that share similarities with this family, based on EnigmaSoft’s analysis. Many malware families are created from the same malware toolkits and use the same packing and encryption techniques but uniquely extend functionality. Similar families may also share source code, attributes, icons, subcomponents, compromised and/or invalid digital signatures, and network characteristics. Researchers leverage these similarities to rapidly and effectively triage file samples and extend malware detection rules.- Filecoder.AB
