Fake Microsoft Update
This morning we have seen an e-mail that was supposed to contain a Windows update for the vulnerability in the Kodak image viewer, which could allow arbitrary code to be remotely executed. The e-mail seems to come from Microsoft Corp, though the domain from which it was created has no relation with this company:
The email subject is “Bolet?n de seguridad de Microsoft MS07-055 – Cr?tico”, though it is possible that there are more e-mails referring to different updates. The message contains real information about the security bulletin called MS07-055. However, the links included in the text lead to a different website, which is almost the same as Microsoft’s.
;
This is the website to which we are redirected. If we don’t pay much attention to the web address, we will be downloading a backdoor detected as Bck/Bandok.BO:
A really curious thing is that this malware is in fact installing the real MS update, plus a free backdoor to open your system to the bad guys. This is what you see when you run it:
