avast! false negative
« on: August 13, 2014, 04:39:27 PM »
I've sent the file to analysis.
https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/b8a63e6bbcf1ad7b1c92dc6c70b400eef71add79ed401c908610980db95822a8/analysis/1407938301/

The vector was an email telling I've got a banking credit:

Quote
Comprovante Transferência Bancaria.

Arquivo(s) em Anexo(s) : Comprovante.pdf ( 238KB )

Por Favor conferir a transferencia .
Segue o comprovante da transferencia feito em 13/08/2014
no valor de: R$ 6.830,00

The file was a false exe passing as a pdf inside a zip.

Reported to vírus analyst

This has clearly been sent to our vlab, so there will be a detection soon hopefully.

Jefferson, but did Honza received the same malware? Why are you quoting him here?

The quote from jefferson santiag is also incorrect as it just goes to his profile not to the topic/post, so we have no idea what it related too.

Seems this is revived malware dating back to 2012: http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/viewThreatOutbreakAlert.x?alertId=25701

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!

Another reason to have been detected... Shame?
