At 4:18 PM PST yesterday, Advanced Threats Researcher Ivan Macalintal discovered a spy-phishing scheme targeting the Fortune 500 company and 4th largest banking chain in the US, Wachovia Bank (NYSE: WB). This attack ends in the execution of a rootkit, TROJ_ROOTKIT.FX, which is a file that hides files and processes, allowing malicious attacks to run entirely beneath the radar.
