More Information

Troj/LdPinch-AK is a backdoor and password stealing Trojan.

Troj/LdPinch-AK harvests passwords, computer information and account information which it emails to a specific email address.

When first run Troj/LdPinch-AK copies itself to the Windows folder as csrss.exe and creates the following registry entry:
