| Description | (ZScaler) The malware dropped and launched from the PDF exploit has been seen to be virtual machine (VM) aware in order to prevent analysis within a sandbox. The Trojan functionality is decrypted at run-time, and includes expected functionality, such as, downloading, uploading, and executing files driven by commands from the C&C. Communication with the C&C is over HTTP but is encoded to evade detection. The Trojan file name (e.g., 'msupdate.exe') and the HTTP paths used in the C&C (e.g., '/microsoftupdate/getupdate/default.aspx') are used to stay under the radar by appearing to be related to Microsoft Windows Update - hence the name given to this Trojan. | |
