Posted: March 27, 2015

Addresseslittlessexy.com is a questionable domain currently in use as part of the communications infrastructure for some variants of the Tufik virus. Contact with any threat domain, including Addresseslittlessexy.com, is discouraged, and malware experts verified the presence of JavaScript-based content that could, in theory, allow Addresseslittlessexy.com to attack your PC from your Web browser. Software associated with Addresseslittlessexy.com is highly likely to be threatening, and your anti-malware tools should be put to use removing any Addresseslittlessexy.com-affiliated applications from your system.

The 'Sexy' Side of a Virus Infection

In addition to the actual software installed on your hard drive, a threat like Tufik also consists of network and Web infrastructure that allows it to receive commands, install updates, download other threats or transfer collected data. Addresseslittlessexy.com is one such domain, with all notable activity malware specialists can confirm associated with communications to and from installations of the Tufik virus. Addresseslittlessexy.com currently has no hosted attack content, but some signs of JavaScript presence could be viable for initiating browser redirects and similar attacks.

Tufik is a typical virus, in that it scans for and indiscriminately infects most EXE-based files across any accessible hard drives. It also directly disables some security features, such as parts of Windows File Protection. Two separate threads are responsible for Addresseslittlessexy.com distributing itself and downloading other threats from domains like Addresseslittlessexy.com. Last of all, malware researchers also have tied Tufik viruses to general backdoor-based attacks. With the help of Addresseslittlessexy.com or other C&C sites, these attacks could delete your files, modify your system settings or upload collected information from the infected machine.

Other domains linked to the same IP address as Addresseslittlessexy.com typically also are threatening, with many of their names implying potential bank impersonation (and related bank account hijackings) via copycat sites. However, Addresseslittlessexy.com isn't a current host of file downloads that malware experts can confirm as threatening; although that fact could change with future updates to the Tufik campaign.

Keeping Yourself Safe from Virus-Friendly Addresses

C&C-based domains like Addresseslittlessexy.com rarely host the threat distribution apparatus, themselves. However, whether a Web domain is used for communication infrastructure or threat distribution often is a fact that may change relatively quickly. Since W32/Tufik still is being actively developed, with new variants anticipated in the future, you should avoid any unneeded contact with Addresseslittlessexy.com and other, associated sites. Disabling JavaScript, Java and Flash by default also is one of the steps malware specialists most often recommend for reducing the attack capabilities of a toxic Web page.

Active viral infections communicating with Addresseslittlessexy.com may not display symptoms readily to the eye, although they may create traceable network traffic. Changes in file sizes or issues with executable file stability may let you estimate the presence of a common virus like Tufik. However, in the event of a suspected infection, dedicated anti-malware software should be depended on to remove the associated threats, ideally before it can initiate any damaging communications with Addresseslittlessexy.com.
