More Information
Troj/LdPinch-DH is a password-stealing Trojan with backdoor functionality.
Troj/LdPinch-DH attempts to steal confidential information and send it to a remote location via HTTP or email.
Troj/LdPinch-DH provides a backdoor server on a pre-configured port (the default is 1758). A remote intruder will be able to connect to this port and receive command shell access.
Troj/LdPinch-DH can arrive as a result of web browsing. Certain web pages may exploit vulnerabilities associated with Microsoft Internet Explorer to silently download and install/run the Trojan without user interaction.
Troj/LdPinch-DH includes functionality to:
- steal confidential information
- access the internet and communicate with a remote server via HTTP
When first run Troj/LdPinch-DH copies itself to <System>\sox.exe and creates the following files:
<current folder>\x.bat
<System>\mswfp.dll
Mswfp.dll is also detected as Troj/LdPinch-DH. X.bat may be safely deleted.
The following registry entry is created to run sox.exe on startup:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
autoupdater
<System>\sox.exe
