TrendLabs SM engineers recently spotted a new worm leveraging peer-to-peer (P2P) applications similar to the threat that displays copyright violation warnings. The new worm detected by Trend Micro as WORM_PITUPI.K solves the typical problem that P2P worms face, that is, hard-coded file names used to trick users by pretending to be cracks, key generators, or actual software. However, the problem with using the hard-coded technique is that the malware becomes obsolete once the software becomes outdated.
