27.07.2006Symantec: Trojan has 400 banks on its hitlist

27.02.2008Trojan, distributed over torrent, blocks torrent sites
A trojan named Troj/Qhost-AC, has been spotted on torrent sites labeled as a keygen for popular software. But in a strange surprise, the trojan would
modify the users host file, rather than generating a key, changing popular torrent web sites like, The Pirate Bay, Suprbay (The Pirate Bay forum) and
Mininova, the two most popular torrent sites on the internet to 127.0.0.1, making it impossible to visit these sites. The Trojan caused pop-ups on
users screens and played a sound file saying "downloading is wrong". The Trojan didn't install any other spyware or malware onto the victims
PC, other than blocking the three web sites, something that many users thought was strange.

10.01.2008Mac Trojan hits pirated copies of Adobe Photoshop
Although Apple's Macintosh environment has long been touted by its fans as "more secure" than Windows, a Trojan enabling remote control of
Mac machines struck a second time this week.
Earlier found only in illegal copies of Apple's iWork Suite, the Trojan has now turned up in
pirated copies of Adobe Photoshop for Mac OS X. Actually, the Trojan doesn't even exploit any OS vulnerability. Instead, it disguises itself as part
of the installer package for the application, so it is installed along with the application. Once installed, the malware launches a back door program,
thereby allowing an attacker to remotely conduct misdeeds such as copying data.
A tool for detecting and removing specifically this Trojan is
now available from

20.06.2008Trojan Roaming Skype Network
Websense has issued an alert
warning that a Trojan, known
as both Warezov and Stration,
is spreading through the Skype
network again (an earlier
version initially attacked
late in February). Typical
instant messaging viruses are
successful in spreading solely
thanks to users' ignorance,
and this time is no different:
the Trojan is not taking
advantage of a vulnerability
in Skype, Websense noted.
While the code itself is not
self-propagating, when a user
opens it, a message that says
"Check up this," along with
a URL to the Trojan (a file
entitled file_01.exe) is sent
to everyone in the user's
contact list. If the user runs
the file, several other files
are downloaded and run. The
Trojan also opens a back door
in the user's computer,
enabling a hacker to get into
the machine.

Trojan Remover was written to
aid in the removal of Trojan
Horses and Internet Worms when
standard anti-virus software
has either failed to detect
the problem or is unable to
effectively eliminate it. The
majority of Virus and Trojan
Scanners are well able to
detect malicious Trojan Horses
and Internet Worms but are not
always very efficient in
removing them once they have
been triggered.Trojan Remover
was written specifically to
carry out such a removal
without the user having to
manually edit system files,
including the Registry. The
program also removes the
additional system
modifications some Trojans
carry out which are ignored by
other Virus and Trojan
Scanners. You can download a
free fully-working evaluation
copy of Trojan Remover by
clicking on the download link
below. The program will work
for a full 30 days, after
which it will expire -
registration costs
$29.00.

11.11.2005Hacker faces jail for Trojan horse
A US man has pleaded guilty to
charges of writing and
distributing a Trojan horse
designed to steal usernames
and passwords. Richard C
Honour, 31, faces a maximum
five years in prison and a
$250,000 fine after
admitting releasing the
malware.
The Trojan
affected users of the
DarkMyst
IRC chatroom, which is popular
with online gamers. Using the
name 'Fyle/Anatoly', Honour
sent messages to other IRC
users claiming to contain
links to online movies.
However, users who
clicked on the links were
infected with a Trojan that
opened a backdoor on their
PCs, allowing the hacker to
spy on his victims, steal
banking details and commit
identity theft.
Honour was arrested at his
home in Kenmore, Washington
following an FBI investigation
that found stolen information
from victims' computers and
evidence that he had written
the malicious code.

23.02.2007Intego: Phishing trojan targets OS X
Security vendor Intego claims to have found a new trojan attack that targets Apples OS X operating system but competing security firms (McAfee,
Symantec, and Trend Micro) have yet to find samples of the trojan. Intego said that malware authors spammed Mac forums with links to pornographic
websites hosting the malware. If confirmed, the trojan would be the first piece of truly malicious software to be targeted at OS X, as opposed to the
various proof-of-concept attacks that researchers have previously developed.
The OSX.RSPlug.A trojan allegedly disguises itself as a video
codec that would provide access to a pornographic video but in reality is a piece of malware classified as a DNS Changer. The software changes the way
OS X would handle the DNS requests that are used to link numerical IP addresses to web URLs. The tool allows the attackers to redirect web traffic,
opening the door for phishing scams.

virus called OSX.Trojan.iServices.A. This virus does the nasty work of installing itself in the startup as root. It then goes on and broadcasts its
location and allows for malicious users to take over your Mac and install anything they want and modify files already on your computer.
