Administrator Spreads Confidential File Containing Malware

 Analysis by: Cyril Coronado

What would you do when you receive a confidential file from an administrator? Will you open it? Will you take the risk?

Several spammed messages coming from administrator and labeled as confidential made rounds in March 2013. The message sender instructs the reader to complete documents that are found in the attachment. The attachment, however, is a malicious file that Trend Micro detects as TROJ_FAKEAV.BMC.

Trend Micro products blocks the spam and detects the attachment malware, protecting users from malicious routines.
