Storm Worm tactic - Earthquake in China and upcoming Olympics

Threat Type: Malicious Web Site / Malicious Code

(PresseBox) (Köln, )
Websense® Security Labs(TM) ThreatSeeker Network has discovered a new Storm Worm social-engineering tactic, capitalizing on the recent global attention around 2 major events: the recent natural disaster in China and the upcoming Olympics, also to be held in China.

These malicious sites speculate that the upcoming Olympics in Beijing would be "under the threat of failure" because of the recent earthquake in China, and then tricks visitors to click on what looks like an embedded flash video player, that really leads to the download of a malicious executable. Users that open this file will have their desktop infected with k Qhgfmo.
