Submitted by nex on Fri, 2009-11-20 06:47. MalwareContinuing on the road of scammail-spread malwares, today I am going to analyze an interesting little toy i accidentally get in touch just yesterday when receiving this funny email at my Universitary address from a fake crafted address notifications@crema.unimi.it:
We are contacting you in regards to an unusual activity that was identified in your mailbox. As a result, your mailbox has been deactivated. To restore your mailbox, you are required to extract and run the attached mailbox utility. Best regards, crema.unimi.it technical support.
As you may guess there was an attachment called utility.zip containing an utility.exe which VirusTotal rates with a 73%.
