It's BBC's turn to be spoofed by trojans to spread

Security experts have warned users about the emergence of a new type of Trojan that spreads strongly via email.

The distribution of the trojan is to send emails to fake BBC News with the content that former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has been assassinated by terrorists. These emails are often titled " Berlusconi la morte, Berlusconi di terrorismo, Berlusconi Tragedia, and Berlusconi di omicidio ".

Attach the emails to the " necfotos.zip " file - which contains a photo of former Prime Minister Berlusconi (silvio01.gif) and a malicious PIF file hiding the Dloadr-ALM trojan.

It's BBC's turn to be spoofed by trojans to spread Picture 1 All of the above messages are fake from bbc.italy2006@bbc.com .

Sophos Graham Cluley's senior technology consultant confirmed that the information sent was completely false. Berlusconi, the former prime minister, is still very healthy. The truth is that these emails only want to trick users into opening attachments to it. But that is a way to activate the attached trojan to infect the user's system. Once infected, it will download more malicious software.

" Hackers are increasingly inclined to exploit user interest in political issues, ongoing problems and hot news to spread malware. Anybody is not careful. "Opened attachments with email will face the risk of their own systems falling into the hands of hackers. Their personal information will be taken away, " Cluley said.

" The latest attack is targeted at users in Italy, but it can spread further in the future, " Cluley said.
