Here’s another proof that sex really sells: A new Trojan, which Trend Micro detects as TROJ_PUSHDO.AD, was found to be spammed via email messages bearing a Hentai image. A sample of the email is shown below:

When executed, this Trojan creates a registry entry to enable the automatic execution of a possibly malicious file. This indicates that samples of this Trojan may also arrive bundled with other files (read: malware), thus opening an affected system to more threats.

This serves as a warning to users–especially the Hentai enthusiasts–out there: Be cautious of the email messages that you open. Don’t let the enticing images fool you. They just might be tickets to the latest malware show.
