Origins: There are few headlines that would grab the attention of morecomputer users around the world than "Osama bin Laden Captured," andthat's exactly what whoever created this lure was counting on to snareunsuspecting victims who use Microsoft platforms. "Osama bin Laden Captured" isn't a virus in itself; it's the text of amessage that includes a link to a file called EXPLOIT.EXE. When amessage recipient clicks on this link to view what he thinks arepictures of Osama bin Laden's capture, he can end up downloading anexecutable Trojan known as Backdoor-AZU, BKDR_LARSLP.A, Download.Trojan, TrojanProxy.Win32.Small.b,or Win32.Slarp. Clicking the embedded link in the "Osama bin Laden Captured" messageauto-executes a file called "EXPLOIT.EXE," which exploits a knownsecurity hole to download the Trojan. According to McAfee Security: The Trojan opens a random port on thevictim's machine. It sends the Port information to a webpage at IPaddress 66.139.77.145. The Trojan listens on the open port forinstructions and redirects traffic to other IP addresses. Spammers and hackers can take advantage of compromised systems by usingthe infected computer as a middleman, allowing them to pass informationthrough it and remain anonymous.
