According to the Bkav’s malware research unit, the malware is disguised as anti-virus software after breaking into computers. It will connect with a command and control server through the domain name dcsvn.org (an imitation of the website of the Communist Party of Vietnam), in which, a name could be customised corresponding to the specific names of organisations or businesses. Vice Chairman in charge of Bkav’s network security Ngo Tuan Anh said the group has issued warnings to government agencies, business groups, banks, research institutes and universities many times since it detected spyware in Vietnam’s computer network in mid-2012.
The malware is capable of collecting passwords and enabling hackers to control computers from afar.
Users are advised to download a free malware scan tool via the link: bkav.com.vn/scanspyware.
For those using Bkav Pro and Bkav Endpoint, they will receive an automatic update of this tool.
Upon discovering any malware, administrators should immediately alert relevant agencies to scan the whole computer system, he said.
Malware hidden in Vietnam’s computer system, Bkav warns
Vietnam’s technology group Bkav warned on August 8 that the malware that recently attacked the national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines is also hidden in the websites of government agencies, corporations, banks, research institutes and universities.
