Hi All,

Pand Labs  findout in their research that email consists of Disaster msgs
like in Spanish we’ve received with the subject ( Urgente ) Posible
Terremoto y Tsunami con un 89 % de efectividad and that is of course false.

The message consists of different images and informs users about an alert of
earthquake and tsunami in Chile.

Besides, it passes itself off as a warning of National Geographic, in order
to make it more credible.

The target of this attack are users from Chile. It takes advantage of the
recent disaster which took place in that country and tries to alarm the
population, so that they trust the email and get infected.

The message is the following:

It contains several links, andi f you click any of them, you’ll access the
website http://www.chile-national<blocked>phic.com from which a file called
Alerta_TerremotoyTsunami.mpeg.exe is downloaded, which belongs to the Trojan
detected as Banker.MGB.

This Trojan modifies the file HOSTS so that when you access any of the
affected websites (http://www.santandersantiago.cl and
http://www.santander.cl), you are redirected to another website which seems
to be original one.

The first image belongs to the legitimate website and the second the fake
one:

The second one could pass itself off as the original one. However, if you
look at the address bar, you can see that it’s different from the usual one,
as it belongs to an IP address:

If you enter your login data to your online account, a message will be
displayed informing you that for security rehaznos you have to enter the
data of your coordinate card:

Then, a screen simulating that the information is being processed is
displayed and then a website is opened informing you that the process has
failed and that you should try it again later:

By then, the cybercrook will have obtained your login passwords and the data
of your coordinate card.

I used to consider cybercrooks as people without scruples for what they do,
but to spread a false alarm using such a sensitive topic after what has
happened in Chile, and on top of that to steal their money only proves that
their scruples have no limits.
