Banwarum

Filed under: Spyware News — Spyware Parasites: Terms and Definitions @ 7:36 am
Banwarum is a mass-mailing worm that spreads in the Internet by email and in local networks by exploiting computers running the Windows operating system with known vulnerabilities. Banwarum scans local drives for text and spreadsheet documents, as well as web pages and various programming files. Then Banwarum sends e-mail messages to all the addresses it gathers from found files by using own mail engine. Banwarum also opens a backdoor providing the attacker with remote unauthorized access to the compromised computer and allowing him to control the system and steal user sensitive information.
