Distribution of .BUGWARE Virus
.BUGWARE Virus can be delivered using different methods, the most prominent way is by coordinating spam email attacks. They are generated using predefined algorithms and are made to send bulk messages to the intended victims. In their most popular form social engineering tricks are employed to male the victims infect themselves with the BUGWARE Virus. There are several different kinds of strategies that are employed using this approach:
- Body Contents Links ‒ The hackers can embed links that lead to the malware sample via hyperlinks in the body contents of the messages.
File Attachments ‒ BUGWARE Virus files can be delivered directly to the victims as file attachments either directly or as a bundle software installer or an infected document.
The two special cases outlined above are related to the way criminals embed malware scripts ordinary looking files. A popular tactic is to use software installers taken from their official sources and modify them to include the malware code. Documents on the other hand integrate the scripts in rich text documents, spreadsheets or databases.
Browser hijackers are another popular method. They aim to redirect the users to malicious sites and change important settings: default home page, search engine and new tabs page. In most cases all popular web browsers are affected: Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge. Once this is done the hacker-controlled page spreads the virus or the BUGWARE Virus is imposed during the infection phase.
Impact of .BUGWARE Virus
The .BUGWARE Virus is a newly discovered malware threat which belongs to a previously unknown family of threats. The security experts who identified it report that they were unable to find a correlation between it and previously known famous malware. In addition the identity of the hacker or criminal collective has noot been identified.
At the moment the attack wave is focused on delivering a specific version of the .BUGWARe virus. Like the other famous threats we presume that the way it is built is modular which means that the virus can be tweaked to include additional features. This can be done according to the targets. Examples of possible updates include the following:
- Windows Registry Changes ‒ The malware has the ability to modify essential Windows Registry values which can lead to performance issues and application faults.
- Persistent Installation ‒ Using this feature the .BUGWARE virus can infect the computer on a deep level and actively defend itself against manual removal attempts. Only the use of a quality anti-spyware tool can effectively remove the virus and restore the computer.
- Information Harvesting ‒ .BUGWARE virus can extract important data about the system hardware components, software configuration and user data.
When all predefined hacker scripts have been executed the .BUGWARE virus starts its encryption process. Like other faous threats it uses a built-in list of file type extensions which target the most widely used data: archives, documents, videos, photos, backups, configuration files, databases and etc. All victim files are renamed using the .[[email protected]].BUGWARE extension.
Once this is done a ransomware note is crafted which reads the following message:
