'Multi-layered malware is a very common occurrence, and we have found many cases of malicious installers who are installing more than one program on a person's device,' says David Emm, principal security researcher at Kaspersky Lab UK.

Kaspersky says that roughly 70 percent of the programs installed through PirateMatryoshka are known adware variants, including pBot, and 10 percent are malware samples which have the capability to deploy additional malicious code payloads onto an affected system.ĬNET: Facebook, Twitter: We spot trolls based on how they act, not their posts In another case, related to partner InstallCapital, the list of nuisance programs is hidden at the end of a licensing agreement. The list is hidden in one case, that of a file partner program called MegaDowl, by an 'Advanced settings' button, of which when clicked reveals the long list of spyware and adware a user is about to download.

If stealing credentials fails, PirateMatryoshka unpacks additional malicious modules including a clicker which can check the installation pop-up's 'agree' tab. However, the malware is still able to persist should no user credentials be entered. So far, the phishing link has been accessed roughly 10,000 times. Kaspersky Labs believes this is how the malware is continuing to spread as operators are able to create more and more seeders from legitimate, compromised accounts.

The victim is shown a copy of TPB's main page, whereby the user is asked to input their credentials to continue the installation. PirateMatryoshka appears as an installer when a victim opens up their downloaded file. When a 'leech' user downloads a file from these sources, they have no reason to believe that the file will be, in any way, malicious.

While malware on torrent websites is often distributed through malvertising or through the creation of new seeders for files, PirateMatryoshka is different - as the Trojan is also spreading through established, credible seeders with good reputations.

PirateMatryoshka is also named so due to what the researchers call a 'seemingly endless stack of functionality.' This week, Kaspersky Labs researchers said PirateMatryoshka, named after the traditional Russian doll which contains smaller versions of itself within one shell, is disguised as legitimate versions of popular software.

Sometimes a particularly interesting form of malware appears on these websites, and in this case, a new Trojan downloader dubbed PirateMatryoshka has been spotted on TPB.

There is high demand for pirated software, and so torrent search websites will often use less-than-reputable advertising services to generate revenue which can lead to the display of malicious ads, as well as the accidental download of adware and spyware.
