Threat Metric
The following fields listed on the Threat Meter containing a specific value, are explained in detail below:
Threat Level: The threat level scale goes from 1 to 10 where 10 is the highest level of severity and 1 is the lowest level of severity. Each specific level is relative to the threat's consistent assessed behaviors collected from SpyHunter's risk assessment model.
Detection Count: The collective number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular malware threat. The detection count is calculated from infected PCs retrieved from diagnostic and scan log reports generated by SpyHunter.
Volume Count: Similar to the detection count, the Volume Count is specifically based on the number of confirmed and suspected threats infecting systems on a daily basis. High volume counts usually represent a popular threat but may or may not have infected a large number of systems. High detection count threats could lay dormant and have a low volume count. Criteria for Volume Count is relative to a daily detection count.
Trend Path: The Trend Path, utilizing an up arrow, down arrow or equal symbol, represents the level of recent movement of a particular threat. Up arrows represent an increase, down arrows represent a decline and the equal symbol represent no change to a threat's recent movement.
% Impact (Last 7 Days): This demonstrates a 7-day period change in the frequency of a malware threat infecting PCs. The percentage impact correlates directly to the current Trend Path to determine a rise or decline in the percentage.

JS_SPRAT.SM is a JavaScript Trojan that is downloaded on an affected computer by a hacking tool produced by Chinese hackers to exploit Apache Struts vulnerability. The hacking tool serves a number of uses in a targeted attack, such as obtaining and maintaining access onto the targeted computer system and network in Asia, getting information about the target, stealing information and eliminating evidence of an attack. The hacking tool affects several different flaws in Struts, recognized both by their Apache-issued bulletin numbers and their CVE numbers involving S2-016 (CVE-2013-2251), S2-013 (CVE-2013-1966), S2-009 (CVE-2011-3923) and S2-005 (CVE-2010-1870).
All of these vulnerabilities, if exploited, permit arbitrary commands to be launched on the attacked server by a cybercriminal. Some particular commands can be executed on the attacked server by The hacking tool automatically. One of the pre-programmed commands is 'whoami', which illustrates information about the attacked server's existing account. The main purpose of a cybercriminal in affecting a vulnerable server is to create a backdoor. These backdoors permit a cybercriminal to obtain and maintain access to the server and use it as they see fit; The hacking tool enables a cybercriminal to do just that with relatively little effort. JS_SPRAT.SM may be hosted on a hacked or malicious website and launched when a computer user accesses the said website. JS_SPRAT.SM requires its main component for appropriate execution of desired routine.
