Hello every one, this post contains Weekly Presentation from Ec-Council.
Topic from the Presentation:
"Kelihos Botnet Trying To Expand By Harnessing Russian National Sentiments"
Websense® Security Labs™ has come across an interesting campaign, targeting Russian nationals, trying to lure them to download and run executables on their computers, under the guise of attacking Western government websites. This is presented as a crowd-sourcing effort to retaliate against the governments that imposed sanctions on Russia (following the conflict in Ukraine). In fact, the unfortunate victims' machines fall prey to the Kelihos spam botnet.
Kelihos (a.k.a Hlux) is a long running trojan/bot/backdoor family, with different variants having capabilities, such as:
Sending out spam email
Sniffing sensitive information such as passwords for different protocols
Stealing Bitcoin wallet contents
Bitcoin mining
Backdoor access to victims' computers
Participating in DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks
Downloading additional malware
