Trojan attack targets top executives
Top-level employees of publicly listed companies are being targeted by cybercriminals using malware-infected RTF documents disguised as recruitment
letters.
Security company MessageLabs reported that 1,100 e-mails containing malware-infected RTF (rich text file) attachments
were recorded over a 16-hour period this month. Four separate waves appeared between September 13 and 14, the company said.
"All
(the e-mails) were going after (top-level) management. The e-mails included the company name in the subject field, purporting to be a recruitment
company. What it had in the attachment is an executable RTF file," a MessageLabs representative said.
Similar e-mails were
noticed in June, the representative said.
The e-mail, which contains no body text, includes a .scr screen-saver dummy file within
an executable RTF file, the representative said. When recipients attempt to open the file, a message is displayed stating: "Microsoft has encountered
an error and had to close." The recipient is then advised: "To view this, double click on the message."..

Skype Users Warned of New Windows Worm
Skype users should be wary of a new worm that is making its way through the network via the application's chat feature, the company said Monday. The
worm spreads when users click on a link sent via IM either from an unknown user, or a contact who has been infected. The link appears to be a .JPG
image, however when clicked, it asks the user to run or save a .scr file. When run, the program then accesses the Skype application in order to infect
others.
F-Secure and Kaspersky Labs have issued updated definition files to detect the worm, Skype said. "We would like to
encourage our users to ensure that they are running anti-virus software on their computers and to download the latest anti-virus updates in order to
provide the best protection against this and other viruses," Villu Arak wrote in the Skype blog on Monday. Additional instructions on
handling the worm can be found in the post.

“Certified for Windows Vista” Software Logo Requirements
Critical to the
success of User Account
Control is having software
that works well for standard
users and administrators,
without excess prompts. Since
User Account Control is such a
central part of Windows Vista,
User Account Control
compatibility is one of the
key requirements to display
the Certified for Windows
Vista Logo on software.
v 1.1
of the Certifie
d for Windows Vista Software
Logo Technical
Requirements is available
now. Our
goal in sharing this
information on our blog is to
make sure that any ISV’s
reading this are aware of the
requirements so that they have
ample time to make their
product compliant and to give
our customers confidence that
there will be a great supply
of software that works well
for standard users and UAC.
Some of
the key requirements that
relate to User Account Control
and running as a standard
user:
·
Make
sure the application works
well for standard users,
unless it is something truly
designed to be run only by
system administrators such as
disk partitioning
software. If the
program has admin and
non-admin components the main
application should still be
run as a standard user and
administrative features should
be moved to a separate
executable.
·
Every
.exe file included with an
application must have an
embedded manifest that defines
its execution level. Such
as:
<requestedExe
cutionLevel
level="asInvoker|highestAvail
able|requireAdministrator"
uiAccess="true|false"/&g
t;
Note,
including the manifest file
will disable File and Registry
Virtualization for the
application. So the
application has to work well
for a standard user without
relying on virtualization.
·
Executable files
with .EXE, .DLL,
.SYS, .DRV, .OCX, .CPL, or
.SCR extensions must
be signed with an Authenticode
certificate.
·
Installers must not
assume that the person who
starts the installation is the
one who finishes the
installation. For example if
your program allows per user
and all user installations, a
standard user should be able
to start the install, but it
should prompt for admin
credentials if the user
chooses the all users option.
·
If the
installer uses a
boostrapper/chainer, it must
include an embedded manifest
that designates the desired
execution level for the
installer.
Another
big change in the Certified
for Windows Vista logo
requirements is that
applications must be
independently tested by a
Microsoft approved testing
vendor before they are granted
logo certification. A
draft of the test cases that
will be used to verify
compliance are posted here.
We’ve
also provided a number of
resources to help developers
make their software Windows
Vista and User Account Control
compatible,
including:
·
Develo
per Best Practices and
Guidelines for Applications in
a Least Privileged
Environment
·
Microsoft Standard
User
Analyzer
·

Windows Vista Software Quality
Logo program including how to

software at http://www.isvinnovationporta

When develo
pers release software that
meets the Certified for
Windows Vista requirements,
users will experience even
fewer User Account Control
prompts than they are seeing
on beta versions today. And
the Windows Vista team will
continue to minimize the
number of OS-generated prompts
and help make as many legacy
programs as possible work
without prompting to ensure a
good User Account Control
experience in the final
release.
