Malware Posing As Youtube Codec


Humpty

Recommended Posts

Several websites offer a YouTube-look-alike streaming video that is actually a link to Storm trojan. The infection vector is specially crafted and spread via love related blogs. This time, users are required to download the so-called Storm Codec in order to view the said video.

 

The said ?codec? is actually a NUWAR/Storm variant, which Trend Micro already detects as WORM_NUWAR.JQ since April 2.

I heard of this before. The fake codec's. One of these days, if they find a way, they will insert the malware with the video and as it streams to infect you. When you read things like this, you thank God for the Malware Experts!

public void dammit() {

damn.cmon(forYou);

damn.delete(You);

System.out.println("Mwuhahahaha");
