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:
Ranking: 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.

Win32/Gataka is a banking Trojan that affects German banks, Dutch banks and a US newspaper. Win32/Gataka eases bogus bank transfers. Win32/Gataka has the same architecture as SpyEye in that a few plugins can be downloaded to add more functionality. Win32/Gataka is developed in C++ and is overly verbose in both the debug strings in its binaries and the amount of logging information that is transmitted back to the C&C. When activated, Win32/Gataka first inserts itself into the process called 'explorer.exe' and then continues on its installation. Win32/Gataka inserts all running processes and hooks the particular APIs 'CreateProces' and 'CreateProcessAsUser' for controlling process spawning. Before deleting the original dropper, Win32/Gataka will first copy it to a file in the Application Data folder following a predefined random behavior. In order to be persistent, Win32/Gataka adds a value to the specific registry key, pointing to the executable that was set in the Application Data folder. Win32/Gataka then proceeds to encrypt the original executable using a XOR key and saves it in the Application Data folder. The path to this encrypted file is kept in the specific registry key value, which is also XOR encrypted. When installed, Win32/Gataka will attempt to connect to the command-and-control (C&C) server by starting 'iexplore.exe', inserting it with a malevolent code and then sending encrypted POST requests.
