Panda Security writes in its Blog about new virus constructor type malware.
Tool called as Constructor/YFakeCreator allows to create fake YouTube web pages with the objective to deceive users and distribute malware through them. Distributed malware can be of any type like for example worm, Trojan, virus or adware.
YTFakeCreator makes it easy for even unskilled people to set up an attack. It has a configuration menu that lets the would-be attacker select a warning message to be displayed on the fake video page and properties of the video, among other options.
"They've really commercialized malware. There's been an upsurge of sophisticated custom-built Trojans that come with service level agreements and tech support sold in underground forums," Ryan Sherstobitoff, a chief corporate evangelist of Panda Security, said according to CNET News.
More details about YTFakeCreator can be read in Panda's Encyclopedia.
