Mid-Autumn Festival QQ chat with "delicious electronic moon cake" virus

In September 25, China's traditional mid-autumn festival fell, and people were increasingly accustomed to sending blessings to friends and family via email, MSN, QQ, and e-cards, or purchase small gifts for your partner through some shopping websites. However, according to the characteristics that viruses are accustomed to spreading through holidays, all these are likely to be used by virus makers. Dai Guangjian, an anti-virus expert of Kingsoft drug overlord, said that users must be vigilant against viruses before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

1. Be careful with "QQ tail"

Spread via QQ, automatically send messages to QQ friends, entice friends to download viruses, try to steal QQ numbers with weak passwords, modify registry startup items and homepage, and cause serious losses to QQ users.

Attack Characteristics: After the virus runs in the system, the file % windows % \ smss.exe is generated and the startup Item is added to start the system. Once a poisoned user chats with a friend, the following message is automatically sent to the friend:

-- Why don't I eat moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival today)

And other information, once a friend clicks, it will be poisoned.

2. "delicious electronic moon cakes"

This is a variant of QQ virus, as in the past, send temptation information to lure QQ users to download and run the virus.

Attack Characteristics: This variant uses the opportunity of sending Mid-Autumn Festival Greetings to QQ chat during the Mid-Autumn Festival to spread the news. Jinshan anti-virus engineer reminds users not to click the link when receiving the following information:

The Mid-Autumn Festival is another year. I wish you a wonderful life and a wonderful life. Send you a special electronic moon cake, download it, run it, enter your QQ nickname "***", and then you will be able to see the message I gave you, click the following link to download the delicious electronic moon cake:

The virus maliciously modifies the IE website and advertises the specified website to increase the website traffic.

3. Webpage Browsing should prevent "webpage Trojans"

During the festival, a large number of websites are used to using festivals to carry out some activities and increase the click rate. However, virus makers just like to take advantage of the high traffic of these websites before and after festivals to mount trojans on some websites. Once a user logs on to a website infected with Trojans, it will face various threats from the Internet, such as online banking, online games and other stolen accounts, and privacy information exposure.

Kingsoft anti-virus experts remind the majority of Internet users that they must be cautious when receiving emails, QQ, MSN and other information related to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and do not easily open attachments to unfamiliar emails and install genuine anti-virus software, enable the firewall and real-time monitoring functions, and do not give viruses a chance.
