Customers of Vodafone and Verizon shall get yourself aware of a spam email which carries a Trojan and will be arriving at your inbox anytime. The email will come in the form telling you that your account has exceeded the limit. This email looks like it’s coming from Verizon or Vodafone with the subject “Your credit balance is over the limit” and also offers an attached “balance checker” for you to verify your payments.

But actually the so-called “balance checker”, which is a zip file, is actually a Trojan that can do more damage. The email also contains sentences such as “Please use the attached Verizon (or Vodafone) Balance Checker Tool to review and analyze your payments” ,to lure you into opening it. Once you open the attachment, you’ll then get infected with a Trojan called Regrun.

This “Balance Checker” Trojan basically will open a backdoor on your computer, which then downloads other malicious software from the the Zbot botnet. And your computer will likely be used to hijack online banking accounts, which is what Zbot botnet is good at. If you happened to have received an email with lots of similarities to what have been mentioned, remember not to click or run any of the attachments and delete it at once.
