Client Maximus is a kind of malicious banking Trojan virus which is specifically developed by the cyber hackers based in Brazil. The malware was first reported in February 2017 by the security researchers.

Due to the presence of this malware, it will be quite hard to detect precompiled libraries into the legitimate Windows processes. Although, Client Maximus is designed to allow its developers to monitor the user's online browsing activities and make some changes to the financial transactions. It also displays few pop-ups messages onto your system screen to trick you into authorizing unsolicited banking operators.

How Does Client Maximus Work?

Based on the research report, the threat is crafted as an obfuscated WScript file, which has the ability to connect a remote host onto the compromised system and also downloads malicious JavaScript file as well. The downloaded JavaScript file performs quick scans for the installed anti-virus programs and then downloads and opens the core Client Maximus virus. Besides, the malware may arrive the targeted computer in two forms. The first one is Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS) package and the second is a clean DLL digitally signed by a leading technology creator which is uses to upload a harmful DLL accompanying the legit and clean one.

Moreover, the NSIS package extracts a legit system file i.e. system.dll, which is used to load a malicious DLL (Dynamic Link Library), that in turns handles the decryption of destructive enciphered Trojan. After the successful intrusion of the Client Maximus Trojan threat, it runs in the AppData directory. However, a DLL hijack operation is performed without your consent where a legit computer program receives commands in order to load a clean DLL, and the malware injects a nasty one. One the surface, the installed legitimate program loads a clean DLL file but the threat manages to inject a malicious one without being detected by the installed anti-virus vendors. The hijack of this corrupted DLL is random and the investigation have seen that the Trojan introduces corrupted code in the following applications:

  • AcroTextExtractorexe (signed by Adobe)
  • vprintproxy.exe (signed by VMware)
  • agestore.exe (signed by Microsoft)
