Spyware Overview

This spyware is dropped by another malware detected by Trend Micro as TROJ_DROPPER.CNH. It arrives as a component bundled within the said Trojan's package.

It monitors user activities when visiting certain IP addresses, which are mostly related to digital gold currency sites such as e-Gold, Liberty Reserve, and e-Bullion. It then steals information by logging keystrokes. Stolen information may include user names and passwords of the affected user's account/s.

This spyware sends its gathered information to a remote malicious user using HTTP POST. This routine risks the exposure of the user's account information, which may then lead to the unauthorized use of the stolen data.
