Trojan Travels Via Bogus Airline Invoice E-Mails

Posted by Kara Reeder Jul 29, 2008 1:16:00 PM

McAfee has confirmed a malware campaign using bogus e-mails claiming to be airline ticket invoices to distribute a Trojan horse. Delta and Northwest are among the airlines being targeted.

 

The e-mail thanks airline customers for using a new "Buy flight ticket Online" service. But the e-mail's attachment contains malware that McAfee calls "Spy-Agent.bw" to steal information. (Symantec calls the Trojan "Infostealer.Monstres.")

 

This is the same Trojan that caused problems for UPS customers earlier this month.
