iPod phishing Trojan
Security firm Sophos is warning PC users of a Trojan horse that has been spammed out, claiming to be a notification that an Apple iPod has been shipped to them, and their account has been charged almost $500. The emails claim that the music player is being shipped via FedEx and that a payment of $479.95 has been received from the recipient’s e-gold account. Attached to the emails is a file called OrderInf.zip, which unpacks to OrderInfo.exe. Executing this file infects the user’s computer with the Dowdec-A Trojan horse that attempts to download further malicious code from the internet. Below is a copy of the email message.
