This Trojan program uses spoofing technology, and is a fake HTML page. It is designed to steal confidential information from clients of Bank of America.
It arrives as an email which appears to be an important message:
The email contains a link which uses the Frame Spoof Vulnerability in Internet Explorer.
The Frame Spoof Vulnerability is detailed in Microsoft Security Bulletin(MS04-004) and is present in versions 5.x and 6.x of Microsoft Internet Explorer. Microsoft published a document describing the vulnerability and how to recognize such fake links.
Once the user enters the site, and enters his/ her account details, they will be sent to the remote malicious user, who may then have full access to the user's account.
Trojan-Spy programs are used to spy on a user’s actions (to track data entered by keyboard, make screen shots, retrieve a list of running applications, etc.) The harvested information is then transmitted to the malicious user controlling the Trojan. Email, FTP, the web (including data in a request) and other methods can be used to transmit the data.
