Russian spams,now with Bagle

Recently we have been receiving constant emails in russian text that hosts a malicious attachment. Trend Micro detects these attachments as variants of the WORM_ARESES but today is a different thing.


We recently received an email with the usual russian subject and body but with a different attachment. Now a Bagle variant accompanies these mails (hmm..makes you wonder…will this be a one thing or will this be the new wave?).


The said Bagle variant will be detected by Trend Micro as WORM_BAGLE.EB. With the notoriety of the BAGLE worms, we should be more careful with these mails.


We will update you more on the details of Trend’s solution for this malware.
