Trojan:Win32/Glupteba!ml Summary

That virus can correctly be classified as stealer trojan. After the injection into your system, it makes changes in your networking settings, specifically – in HOSTS file. Next step it does is router hijacking. Glupteba virus takes control over your router, getting control of the whole traffic you have, and packing it into log files. Then, it sends these logs to the command server, where malware distributors can check it. Such logs can contain the information about your network activity, passwords you typed after the virus injection, online banking logs, and various other valuable information.

Besides overhearing the traffic, the Trojan:Win32/Glupteba!ml is also able to steal the data from the specific files of your web browsers. Various browsers keep the passwords and other secret information in the certain files. Of course, the information in those files is encrypted. The problem is that old versions of Opera, as well as some amateur web browsing tools on Chromium core use a very easy encryption algorithm. Fraudsters can easily decrypt these files and get your login credentials with no problems.

Trojan:Win32/Glupteba!ml

The most regular channels whereby Trojan:Win32/Glupteba!ml are injected are:

  • Via email spamming
  • Through malvertising
  • With unlicensed software usage, software bundling

Email spamming became a viral malware distribution method since the users do not raise suspicion on notifications from DHL or Amazon about the incoming delivery. However, it is quite easy to distinguish the malevolent email from the original one. One which is sent by cybercriminals has a strange sender address – something like [email protected]. Simultaneously, the original email address has a specific domain name (@amazon.com or @dhl.us) and can also be checked on the official website in the “Contact us” tab.

Malicious advertisements on the web, however, is an old-timer of malware distribution. And the advice to stop clicking the blinking advertisements on untrustworthy websites exists as long as the ads on the Internet. You can also install ad-blocking plugins for your web browser – they will deal with any ads. However, if they are generated by adware already present on your PC, ad blockers will be useless.

Software bundling is a widespread practice among the virus developers. Users who hack the programs to make them usable without purchasing a license approve any offer to include another program in the pack because they are gaining money in such away. Check precisely the installation window for signs like “Advanced installation settings” or so. The ability to switch off the malware installation often hides under such items.
