New Bot-Family Detected: Light-Bots
Today, we observed a new family of bots while doing some research at our lab. While investigating several Kinder Surprises, we detected two samples of a bot family named Light-Bots (see the picture at the right hand side for more detail about the bots). 
A closer analysis revealed that the bot exists in at least two version, we empirically found version S104 and S105. The propagation scheme is a variant of classical social engineering: victim's are tricked into buying a Kinder Surprise and the bot is contained in the egg, similar to a Trojan Horse. At this point, we do not have any CWSandbox report of the bot behavior nor any signatures. However, the bot also contains a README that indicates a close relationship with the domain www.magic-kinder.com:
