Spammed Trojan hides in Word document
IT security watchers have warned of a Trojan spammed out in large quantities to email users around the world.
Kukudro-A is being propagated via an infected Microsoft Word document in spammed emails, which promise information about Apple, HP and Sony laptop computers for sale.
When opened the Word document attempts to install another Trojan horse, called Kuku-A, onto the user's hard drive, which can lead to hackers gaining access to innocent users' PCs.
The spam comes with a variety of subject lines including 'worth to see', 'prices', and 'Hello'. It is currently the number one reported malware, according to Sophos' global network of monitoring stations.
