Illiterate Trojan found in wild
Several copies of a two-stage Trojan virus, which uses an exploit to download and execute an encoded visual basic script from a website, have been seen in the wild. According to security firm MessageLabs it has intercepted several copies of a new Trojan this week although there are no other indications that it will be a major problem. No-one has come up with a name for it yet, although judging by the way it works, perhaps illiterate might be a good title. It appears in an email with a header which seems to have been penned by someone to whom English is a foreign language.
It creates an executable file which appears to download a malicious program from the same website as the original script.
