New Waledac Campaign: SMS ‘Snooping’ Software

by Joey Costoya (Advanced Threats Researcher)

After attempting to shock us with dire news of terrorist bombings, Waledac now attempts to entice us with offers of spying somebody else’s (notably a lover’s) SMS messages.

The links in the spammed messages shown above lead to a malicious website, which offers a 30-day trial for a SMS (Short Messaging Service) Spying software. The link “Download Free Trial” leads to the download of an .EXE file which installs a Waledac bot into the user’s system. So if you must ask, no, it is not legitimate SMS spy software.
