See the end of this file.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We recently received a sample of the malware NGRBot from a customer, who got a spam email with what appears to be a Skype link. Victims are lured into clicking a link that promises an image. Once victims click the link, the file skype_09-10-12_image.exe gets dropped on their machines and launches itself, spamming all of their contacts. This bot is also known as Dorgbot. Kaspersky states that the malware was first seen on October 6.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/?attachment_id=19339\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19339\" src=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/19.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"54\" height=\"53\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The bot comes with Skype icon and tricks its victims into executing the file.<\/p>\n<p>We have already written about NGRBot earlier <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.co.in\/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;frm=1&amp;source=web&amp;cd=1&amp;ved=0CCAQFjAA&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fsecuringtomorrow.mcafee.com%2Fmcafee-labs%2Fngrbot-spreads-via-chat&amp;ei=AMZ2UKGSJsPuiQLA74DQAQ&amp;usg=AFQjCNFEZ0sLD53xUCod5gwlDXNtgsCB9Q&amp;sig2=nIvCrEaiLjUXcZ37wYC6CA\">here<\/a>.
