Xinhua News Agency, Electric - The National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center said on the 21st that through Internet monitoring, a new variant of "Gray Pigeon" has recently appeared. This variant spreads using methods such as web page hanging horse.
The variant will record user keyboard operations in the background of the infected operating system. Malicious attackers can arbitrarily steal personal private information and local system information from computer users' systems, and send this information to the malicious attackers, eventually leading to files in the system being maliciously deleted, the system automatically remotely downloading and uploading malicious program files, etc.
Experts remind users to update antivirus software and firewalls in their systems in time. When browsing web pages, it is best to turn on the "real-time monitoring" function of the antivirus software in the system, and also turn on the firewall. In addition, do not easily download and run data files or suspicious plug-ins that have not been processed by the antivirus software in the system from the Internet.
