MyAgent Trojan Targets Defense and Aerospace Industries

A targeted trojan leverages emailed PDF files to gain access to systems and deliver its payload to networks in the aerospace, chemical, defense and tech industries. The malware also uses JavaScript to assess which version of Adobe Reader is currently running on the host machine. Once the trojan has infected its host machine, it communicates with its command and control server, the user agent string and URI of which are hard-coded into MyAgent’s binary. Most of the payloads are detected by updated antivirus software, FireEye reports.
