SECNAP Email Security Solution Stops Georgiazip Virus in its Tracks

SECNAP Email Security Solution Stops Georgia.zip Virus in its Tracks

Email Security Gateway Powered by SpammerTrap Protects Against Viruses, Trojans, Worms, Phishing, DoS and DHA Attacks and More

BOCA RATON, Fla., Aug. 21 -- SECNAP(R) Network Security has announced that its award-winning Email Security Gateway Powered by SpammerTrap(R) effectively detected and quarantined the Georgia.zip virus-a known virus form repackaged this week to leverage growing interest in the ongoing Georgia-Russia conflict.

The virus is delivered in a password-protected zip file, inside an executable email whose subject line reports that journalists have been shot in Georgia. The email promises photographic proof in an attached zip file. Users are instructed to open the attachment with a password provided in the email, which creates an illusion of security. That action launches a malicious invasion of the user computer and client system.

Beginning late Tuesday, August 19, SpammerTrap software detected significant spikes in incoming zip files, the vast majority encrypted (password-protected) with the Georgia.zip attached.

The Email Security Gateway quarantines executable files traveling in password-protected zip files by default, which automatically prevented this malware from entering client systems and required no intervention from either SECNAP technicians, client administrators or end-users.

"SpammerTrap software also enables system administrators to decide which types of files should be quarantined, by site or domain," said Michael Scheidell, chief technology officer for SECNAP Network Security. "And they have the option to block encrypted zip files rather than quarantine them." As an additional security measure, only system and domain administrators are able to release quarantined or password-protected files.

Dubbed the "King of Spam Filters" by SC Magazine, SpammerTrap technology leads the industry in accurately identifying malicious email through a rich combination of security functions, including 40 real-time blacklists, heuristic filtering, a sender filter that leverages four separate reputation databases, a highly sophisticated firewall, daily and hourly updates, and more.
