Fake security software "Security Tool" Infection explosion, the cause is attack of micro ad ad delivery server



From September 24 (Friday) around 21:30 to Saturday, September 25 (Sat) 0:27 GIGAZINE ·Everyday jp·Impress·Slashdot·Price .com · Eating log·Everyone's stock·Minkara·J-CASTIt is clear that some users who saw pages of many sites including infected sites are infected with fake security software "Security Tool". The reason is that due to the advertisement of MicroAd Inc. which was displayed in the page, the same damage was occurred in many sites which distributed this advertisement.

Since GIGAZINE instantly identified the cause, we hide advertisements of microadds and continue to hide display in case too. If I could identify it a little earlier, I could hide it earlier and suppress the damage, but this was the limit, I am very sorry.

A summary of the circumstances clarified up to the present time and the method of exterminating "Security Tool" are as follows.
◆ What is "Security Tool"?

"Security Tool" is a fake security software that has been occurring since around 2008, forcibly installing in Windows by forcing various software bugs and security holes, invalidating already installed security software, in addition Depending on the task manager, right click menu, disable connection to the net. Then, it displays a window of meaning such as "it is infected by the virus" and "detects a large number of viruses", and "I have to update to the paid version in order to remove these viruses, credit this form Enter card information "is malicious malware that urges you.

Actual screen


Warning popup. It is also characterized by Japanese being hen.


like thisFalse detection screenIt is displayed


Screen for entering credit card information. You must not enter it. If you do, please contact the credit card company and we will respond.


◆ How to delete "Security Tool"

For the manual disinfection method, the latest procedure is summarized on the following page.

Infection of fake security software "Security Tool"

Other simple removal procedures are as follows.

Step 1: Stop the "random number" .exe process. Stop from "Process" tab of Task Manager, or "Process HackerStop using software or stop using software that can display similar processes. It has become such name as 29225726.exe. Anyway, unless you end this process, you can not activate various antivirus software and so on.

Step 2: "Security Tool Removal Tool, "Or"Norton Power Eraser, "Or"Ad-Aware"Spybot - Search & amp; Destroy"Or install anti-virus software that can use full function even during the trial period and disinfect it.

Originally installed antivirus software is the latest version, and if it is made to stay permanently, it will not infect this fake security software "Security Tool", so install new security software. In addition, most security software present at the moment can disinfect this "Security Tool". Also, being infected with this "Security Tool" is also likely to be infected with malware and viruses that do not make other remarkable movements, so scan the entire PC and check it.

History of this time at GIGAZINE

· Friday September 24 (Fri) 21:51
From readers "Google Chrome"Antivirus software"Avast!"Has come to the effect that access to GIGAZINE is blocked and a warning is displayed. Although we check the site of GIGAZINE at the time of this contact, nothing is detected and possibly a false detection of antivirus software or an advertisement embedded with something malicious code via an ad delivery server I guessed it would be either one of them.

Since other readers also received several similar contacts due to time difference, we continued to monitor GIGAZINE's page periodically and decided which advertisement distribution server / ad network was the cause. As a reported phenomenon, "A media player suddenly got up and tried to start something," "I tried to read a JAR file I did not understand", "A PDF file named libtiff.pdf was about to be loaded" Etc.

· Friday September 24 (23:59:22)
I was watching the page of GIGAZINE "ESET Smart SecurityHas finally succeeded in connecting to "ipq.co" and trying to download malware without permission.


When I looked at the GIGAZINE page at this point in Safari with the development tool started for analysis, I found a mysterious iFrame like 1 dot × 1 dot.


As I looked at the source code, I found an iFrame tag that connects to "ipq.co" like this. It was found that the microadd servers are displayed before and after this tag, and it is presumed that this malware infection is occurring via the microadd server.


As a result of further analysis, it was confirmed that the micro ad server was attacked by someone and was taken over, delivering a mysterious iframe tag.


· September 25 (Sat) 0:27
Removed ad tags for micro ads from GIGAZINE. Also, why this iFrame is loaded every time the page is displayed, the reason why malware is not downloaded or not is also found. First of all, this "ipq.co" is a service like the following.

A service to easily add domain names to IP addresses in an instant - swordsmith
http://romberg-iso8.blogspot.com/2010/09/ip.html

That is, it makes the arbitrary IP address into the domain "favorite name. Ipq.co". The reflection time was also quick, it seems that it was reflected in about 1 minute at this point. In other words, if you direct it to the site where malware is placed every time, it is said that it is caused by tags for ad delivery of microadds, so rewrite the forwarding destination of promo.ipq.co to the malware distribution destination for only a short time and immediately We used the technique of rewriting it and rewriting it again when the blooming cold, so as not to be identified for as long as possible, so that it could not get out for as long as possible. Furthermore, it is speculated that it was hard to identify who was the culprit via this ipq.co, meaning that the identity of such a criminal was meaningless.

Due to this method, even if I accessed GIGAZINE here, I could not detect the virus for a long time, but the damage report came into a state of continuing to arrive and I felt a very toothy feeling. It will be a complete excuse, but it is very regrettable if I think that I could suppress the damage if I could notice this earlier.

· September 25 (Sat) 0:59
Please contact the micro ad company to collect the above circumstances and request investigation.

· September 26 (Sun)
The following press release came out of micro add.

It seems that malicious iframes were delivered via multiple advertisement distribution servers, including Slad. Blocking the connection to "ats.redmancerg.net" will be a simple remedy.

When trying to activate the browser, a warning like "I do not use it because it hits a virus" appears and I can not use the browser. Since it will not be a job for the time being, we will try uninstalling security software now.

The case of this time is not because each site displaying advertisement was not taken over, but because the advertisement distribution server displayed at each site was taken over, this is caused by general users I can not understand, it has evolved into a situation in which hammers like "I hate the virus !! Do not look at the site of ~!

Also, in this case, as to the security of the ad network of advertisement, once a hijacker occurs, many damage will occur across the site in a stroke, so again that we must operate with security more careful than usual It made me recognize. The "no-guard tactic that does not install antivirus software because" I do not see strange sites in the first place "is still dangerous.

Let's check your environment once again so that the antivirus software's renewal deadline has expired, or that it is not actually started up just by installing it . Although it will be a monthly conclusion, after all it finally protects yourself by yourself, defending your own personal computer by yourself is an iron rule, and you should always be careful about security there is not. As a blessing for the unfortunate incident, the "Security Tool" is a type of malware that prevents you from being infected even though the symptoms appear symptomatic for the infected person, but it also makes me realize that it is frightening not to know that it is infected · It is a virus.

I hope that anti-virus software will be unnecessary in the world, but it is not likely to be such a thing yet ....

A new release came out from micro add.

About the range of influence concerning tampering of our service About press coverage | Micro add
http://www.microad.jp/press/20100928/

It seems that the maximum number of browsers in the alteration time period was 680,000.

This time, some data was tampered with malicious attack by a third party in our service "a part version of Ad server VASCO". About this matter today some articles were posted that some 8 million people will be affected by some news organizations.

We have found that the maximum number of viewers during the time of alteration by our survey is 680,000. These reports will inadvertently undermine the concerns of Internet users and we will correct them as described above.
In addition, individual sites themselves have been tampered with, and reports are being made as if there were causes on the site side. The cause of the guidance to a malicious site is that our server has been tampered with, and there is no fact that individual site has been tampered with.

In this case we apologize for the inconvenience caused to our customers who use our service and users who are viewing direct advertisement very much. From now on, we will try to strengthen our system so that such things will never happen again.

【Inquiries concerning this matter】
Please contact us at [email protected].
