Submission of possible malware


Recommended Posts

@kieferschild Got the info from research. This is a variant of backdoor.nanocore, it is a Trojan meant for gathering information from a Windows system and can modify settings, gather data and send it to a remote remote threat actor. Two stand out things to check for this guy; double check what your web homepages and search engines have been set to, they could be pointing to compromised sites. And change your passwords for domain and the local accounts, this is likely going to need to be done site-wide, the actor that gained access to your machine could've gotten more info and credentials than what was just on that box alone.

The original author of this is serving prison time, here is an article that talks about that and some of the main functions of this Trojan - https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/02/developer-of-the-prolific-nanocore-backdoor-gets-prison/

An extra definition for this variant is going to be added in the next signature update since my test MBES was unable to detect this, very happy that MBEP was able to catch it for you. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
