Abstract
“ Reports of Disttrack/Shamoon malware, which overwrites files and infects the Master Boot Record (MBR) of infected systems, have recently surfaced. Trend Micro detects the said WORM_DISTTRACK.A. Currently, its arrival method is still undetermined. It is found to spread to other computers by dropping copies of itself in administrative shares. Its dropped copy may use file names such as clean.exe or dvdquery.exe.
