On September 30, Kaspersky Lab analysts received a message about the incomprehensible behavior of web browsers when opening the page top.rbc.ru : Internet Explorer with all the patches that were released crashed; Firefox worked, but it “ate” about 400 MB of RAM.
In the process of analyzing the analytics page, Kaspersky Labs found in its code a link leading to a site registered in the pp.se domain. This link revealed a script containing an exploit of the vulnerability described in the Microsoft Security Advisory (926043).
The exploit downloads a new version of the Trojan-PSW.Win32.LdPinch - ayj to the attacked computer, which then sends all reports with passwords to attackers via the “gate” located on the same site.
