What is Cyrp_Yodac? My friend is trying to hack my facebook.?

[Dinesh Patel]

Hi, My friend is trying to hack my facebook account by sending me a trojan that has a name called Cyrp_Yodac - this is what it says on my pc antivirus (trend micro).

I have not opened the file because i know its a virus I was wondering how I could get more information on this trojan.

Most companies ( like Trend Micro) have a support website ..
they keep a library or encyclopedia on all the identifications they make.

link below..
TM just says this is a generic detection. Not sure what exactly the payload is inside.. but the program was encrypted using "Yodas Encrypter".. which gets a lot of use by hacker-types for malicious software.
Nothing further.

* You are lucky that you caught this attempt - most good viruses don't get detected until a couple of months go by. You may want to report the attempt to Facebook or someone else of authority. If you do get hacked by anyone.. your page = your problem. If something illegal is posted, getting barred from Facebook will be the least of your troubles.

Trojan horses may allow a hacker remote access to a target computer system, and perform various operations. The types of operations are limited by user privileges on target computer, which normally includes data theft, modification or deletion of files, keystroke logging, and use of machine as part of a botnet to perform mass spamming or to distribute Denial-of-service attacks.
Trojan horses can be installed through software bundling (included as part of a software application available downloaded from file sharing network), email attachments, instant-messaging network, websites containing executable content (such as ActiveX control), etc. It can also be self-replicated by spreading itself through the use of application exploits.

Malware designed mainly to steal passwords
This type of Trojan steals passwords and other sensitive information. It may also secretly install other malicious programs, such as keylogger. Stolen logins and passwords can allow an attacker to read user's email, access online banking accounts, etc.
Viruses written for specific platforms

Compressed "packed" files which contains malware
Being in a packed state reduces the size of the file, and also acts as a form of protection for the malware because its binary data will be altered. A packed file must be decompressed to its original state before it can be executed. Virus writers also commonly use a variety of packing techniques to prevent security programs from analyzing the file, including using multiple packers to compress the file.
