Alright, now how does this spread? How would I get this piece of malware onto my computer? Do I need to browse the web? Do I need to install a piece of software that is vulnerable?
That's what I care about, how can I protect myself against this, and saying "Buy Anti Virus software" is NOT the right answer.
All I see so far from other reports is that you would have had to install software, bypass the signing requirement and that software had to come from a less than legitimate location to carry with it the malware ...
- coldcode 12y agoYea how is this useful or even meaningful without mentioning the how it gets in? Worthless analysis otherwise.
- meowface 12y agoYou probably don't work as a malware analyst. This is a perfectly fine analysis. Malware has been spreading the same way it always has: phishing, social engineering, application exploits. It's very rare that you actually see a new infection mechanism or a new zero-day just for a particular piece of malware. That's what makes malware like Stuxnet extremely exceptional.

- btube 12y agoIt seems to spread through pirated software torrents. I found at least one user seeding this dropper: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YOfXRUQJgMjJSLBSoLiUaSZfiaS_vU3aG4Bvjmz6Dxs/edit?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YOfXRUQJgMjJSLBSoLiUaSZf...
