New facebook trojan active in brazil

[Vatos Locos]

New Facebook Trojan likes pages, shares posts, comments, sends links via chats, post messages, basically it takes complete control of users' Facebook profiles is active in Brazil.

Recently a Microsoft blog was released describing a new Facebook Trojan classified as JS.Febipos.A by several AV vendors. Febipos is currently active in Brazil and takes control of your Facebook profile using a Firefox and/or Chrome extension that’s installed during execution. I managed to obtain several copies of the Febipos executable, which uses Facebook-like icons in an attempt to appear legitimate, along with being signed by digital certificates from ‘Updates LTD’.

According to Microsoft’s report, Febipos beacons to a C2 server and receives the following commands:

- Liking a page
- Sharing a post
- Posting messages
- Joining a group
- Inviting your friends to a group
- Sending messages and links via chat
- Commenting on posts

Febipos is packaged in a self-extracting archive (SFX) and is coded to silently install into the user’s temporary directory (%temp%). The Trojan’s main component is called ‘fbinstupd.exe’, appearing to be shorthand for ‘Facebook Install Update’. All program strings are in Portuguese, Brazil’s official language.
