March 17, 2008 at 14:41Belarusian guarantor WebMoney Transfer distributed trojan
A flagrant case of carelessness occurred on the website of the Belarusian guarantor of the WebMoney Transfer system (Technobank OJSC). On Sunday, www.wmtransfer.by was hacked and distributed the Trojan downloader Trojan-Downloader.HTML.Agent.ij for several hours . The problem was aggravated by the fact that this malware was detected only with the latest update of Kaspersky Anti-Virus, so hundreds or even thousands of ordinary people who visited the site at that time to pay for utilities or to top up their mobile phone balance were infected. After the virus was removed, the normal operation of the system was not restored for almost the entire day.
Note that such cases are registered in the user"Agreement with the system guarantor for WMB . " In particular, clause 8.4 states that “a Party shall notify the other Party of the occurrence and termination of force majeure circumstances that impede the fulfillment of obligations under the Agreement”. Naturally, there were no notifications.
In addition, Technobank OJSC violated clause 3.3.1 of the WebMoney Transfer System Code : “Each Participant is obliged to follow the security procedures established in the System. The control over the implementation by the Participants of the procedures and safety standards is carried out by the Operator. ”
Clause 3.3.3 of the Code reads: “Upon detection of facts of the use of the System’s mechanisms by the Participant for illegal purposes, the Operator immediately blocks the management of the Participant’s identifier”. Thus, after this incident, the Belarusian “Technobank” runs the risk of losing its guarantee status. The decision will be made by the administrator of WM Transfer Ltd.
