No more access to pornographic sites! A trojan is angry with all the users surfing such addresses, the malicious code delivering them a message from the Koran.
The trojan, dubbed Yusufali-A, analyses the words written in the title bar of the browser and if it detects words like “penis”, “sex” or similar, it will display a window with a message from the Koran, written in both Arab and English.
If the users don’t leave the site, after a while, a For Exit Click Here button will appear and if they try to access the message, it will change to “OH! NO i'm in the Cage”
The window has also LogOff, ShutDown and Restart buttons, all of them serving the same purpose: Logout.
Sophos experts who found Yusufali-A say that there aren’t any other effects and that the trojan is just a sort of moral guardian. Obviously, the person behind this trojan has not been identified, but what if it has escaped from an Arab research lab?
It’s not so bad that it blocks the porno sites, but the problem is it doesn’t make the difference between these and the sex education ones. We ask the maker to be more selective next time and who knows, maybe he will receive an award from an association which fights against online pornography.
