Abstract

The fraudsters have a clear aim: to trick unwitting users into downloading a malicious program or entering their confidential data on a phishing site. For example, one scam message detected by Kaspersky Lab asked the user to fill in and sign a delivery form in order to receive a shipment. The message had a DOC file attached to it containing the exploit Exploit.MSWord.Agent.gg, which allowed the cybercriminal to, among other things, gain remote access to the infected computer.
