The Microsoft Malware Protection Center has been tracking a recent threat that attacks cloud-based antivirus technology provided by popular major antivirus software vendors in China. The malware is named Win32/Bohu (TrojanDropper:Win32/Bohu.A).
The Bohu malware is native to the China region. Bohu attracts user installation by social engineering techniques, for example, using attractive file names and dropping a fake video player named “Bohu high-definition video player”. The more interesting part of Bohu is that the malware blocks cloud-based services now commonly featured in major Chinese antivirus products. Specifically, Bohu uses a number of different techniques in order to attempt to thwart Cloud-based AV technologies.
