A new backdoor (spying program) which poses as a DivX file containing subtitles from the latest Quentin Tarantino film Kill Bill has been spotted on the Net.
The low-spreading Manda-A (AKA PWSteal.Salira) Trojan arrives as a .RAR archive with a malformed header. This archive, 35347 bytes in size, has a movie subtitle name Kill Bill.
Subtitles are used alongside DivX movie clip files to enable foreign language speakers to follow the plot of a film.
