Security news and informationFrom precious metals to body parts?
The latest in a long line of fake codecs was discovered today by Miekiemoes. Instead of using names deriving from precious metals, as reported by Sunbelt, they now have moved on to body parts. Introducing BrainCodec; the latest site ready to infect you with VirusBursters.
This is so new in fact, that though the BrainCodec has its own domain and its own braincodec.107.exe, they forgot to change the web site itself. As you can see the web site is still showing the layout and image for Gold Codec.
What happened to Gold Codec then? They reverted it back to a parked domain at our favorite malware registrar, and hoster, ESTDomains.
Information on Brain Codec is:
