NEW MALWARE JACKBOT

Intego discovered a Multiplatform Java
Malware called "Jacksbot " , which
is infecting Windows, Linux and Mac
systems .
The Jacksbot is described as a 'backdoor
Trojan Java "on infected computers and
collects system information , make
screenshots, delete files , steal passwords
and perform click fraud and DDoS attacks.
Although it can run on
any platform that supports JRE, It appears
likely that this trojan is intended to be
dropped by another component that has
not yet been identified . “ There is a
possibility that this malware presents
itself as a Minecraft modification to
unsuspecting users as it contains the
special command ‘ MC for stealing
Minecraft passwords from the
compromised system .
"However, the malware ’ s focus is mainly
on Windows. The malware writers behind
JACKSBOT may just be testing it .and i personally think it is very effective
for a successful multiplatform malware .Just be aware and For Windows-based systems, you can
check the registry for the presence of
the following key:

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Microsoft
\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Microsoft® Windows®
Operating System = "{Java Root
Directory}\bin\javaw.exe -jar
"{Malware Path and File
name}""
      I hope this information is use ful ....just be aware of it
