E-mail iPhone Scam Exploits Windows
Sunday, July 1st, 2007 at 4:00 PM - by John Martellaro
Secure Computing warned of a e-mail scam on Sunday that tries to seduce readers with a promise of a free iPhone, and then directs them to a Website that exploits over 10 ActiveX vulnerabilities in Windows.
The site uses some fairly sophisticated techniques according to Paul Henry, VP of technology evangelism at Secure Computing.
"This threat is particularly insidious in that scripts within the HTML code returned to the user contain exploit code for multiple vulnerabilities to improve the malicious hacker’s chances of gaining the necessary access to install the rootkit /spam bot malware," he said.
He added, "While most organizations fully inspect the traffic directed to their Internet facing web servers, many do not inspect the traffic that is returned to their internal users when visiting Internet web sites."
The effect of the vulnerability is to turn the PC into a spam-sending botnet. However, because it installs a rootkit, it would be fairly simple, Mr. Henry said, to "update the malware to include other nefarious tasks, such as key logging on the compromised PC to capture the user’s financial credentials for use in ID theft."
The Macintosh was not cited as vulnerable.
