Has anyone seen this effecting macs or has it just been windows machines. -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] On Behalf Of Dick Jacobson Sent: Wednesday, July 21, 2010 6:53 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] IM trojan We got hit today with a trojan that is spreading through IM. It references a Facebook presence and contains an image. When the message is clicked on, the trojan spreads to that user's IM list and infects the machine. The symptoms are not always consistent but most have gotten a pop-up when the open a web browser which asks them to click to confirm they are a human and not a robot. McAfee and MalwareBytes do not clean this; and we are rebuilding at least 2 machines because of this. Anyone else seeing this and/or have a fix ?? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Dick Jacobson e-mail : Dick.Jacobson () ndus edu NDUS IT Security Officer office : STTC 219 phone : 701-231-6280 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
