Posted in SecurityYou should be aware of yet another tactic to compromise your computer with botnet software. Websense® Security Labs™ reported that a new Web site is being distributed in spam sent out by those running the Storm attacks. This site poses as a new piece of software called “Krackin v1.2″ and claims to be a new global sharing network.
If your computer is unpatched it will be automatically exploited. If your computer is patched, you’ll be prompted to download and run a file called “kracking.exe” which contains the Storm payload code.
The latest emails say things like “All the new movies, music and more” or “I’ve been downloading for 2 days straight from this great site!” Don’t click on any links in this type of email. For more details and to see a screen shot of the Krackin Web site, visit Websense.
