F-Secure Virus Descriptions : Lasku

[Summary] | [Detailed Description] | [Detection]



NAME:Lasku
ALIAS:VBS/Lasku
ORIGIN:Finland

Summary

VBS/Lasku is a simple massmailing VBS Worm, using Outlook to spread. Due to a bug in the code it will fail to spread. This will not stop its payload from execution.

Detailed Description

VBS/Lasku.A has been reported to have been spammed in Finland. Once executed the script creates a copy of itself to the root of C: drive:

 C:\LASKELMAT.HTML

It was written to spread in messages that look like this:

 Subject: Kysymys

 Body: Miksi lähetät tämä laskelmat.html minulle. Haluatko myydä ne tiedot?

 Attachment: LASKELMAT.HTML

VBS/Lasku searches trough Outlook mail boxes and tries to send itself to emails found in Incoming and Deleted mailboxes. When attempting to send itself, Lasku will delete all email messages from these mailboxes. The incoming emails can be restored from the deleted mailbox unless the code is executed again.

After that VBS/Lasku attempts to delete all files from drives A-P and then shows a message which displays a reference to Lord of The Rings:

 I am Lord of MorDor. Youre stupid! thievishness my Ring!
