TSPY_QHOST.QFB is a Trojan that is used by cybercrooks to reroute customers of South Korean Banks to phishing websites fooling them into revealing their personal and financial data. TSPY_QHOST.QFB makes modifications to the attacked PC's HOSTS file to diverts victimized computer users to an IP address located in Japan. When on the phishing website, attacked computer users are asked several questions about PC security, after which they're instructed to get a security certificate. Attacked PC users are asked to give their name, Korean resident registration number, phone number, account number, password, user ID, associated password, and the certificate password. These phishing websites abuse the trust that web users have in their banks to get financial and personal data from victimized web users. These websites are designed to think that computer users are entering their information in the legitimate online banking website of the bank, when, in reality, they are not. Instead, this information is transmitted to the cybercrooks who generated TSPY_QHOST.QFB.
