Brief Description Lineage.JXU is a virus that also has the characteristics of a worm.
Lineage.JXU gets into a computer via e-mail, the Internet, floppy disks, etc, and it spreads by inserting its code in other files and programs. Its effects can range from simply annoying to destructive.
Furthermore, due to its worm characteristics, Lineage.JXU also spreads by sending out copies of itself. Its main objective is to collapse computers and networks, preventing users from working with the affected computer. It captures certain information entered or saved by the user, with the corresponding threat to privacy: passwords saved by certain Windows services. It reduces the security level of the computer: it changes system permissions, decreasing the security level. It uses stealth techniques to avoid being detected by the user: - It deletes the original file from which it was run once it is installed on the computer.
- It modifies system permissions in order to hide itself.
Lineage.JXU uses the following propagation or distribution methods: - Exploiting vulnerabilities with the interventionof the user: exploiting vulnerabilities in file formats or applications. To exploit them successfully it needs the intervention of the user: opening files, viewing malicious web pages, reading emails, etc.
- Computer networks (mapped drives): it creates copies of itself in mapped drives.
- File infection: it infects different types of files, which are then distributed through any of the usual means: floppy disks, email messages with attachments, Internet download, files transferred via FTP, IRC channels, P2P file sharing networks, etc.
